According to legends, the temple was erected in 1752 - during the Ottoman rule. After a brief existence it was demolished by the Turks. The locals asked for permission of the Pasha to build a new one. He gave it, but there was a condition - the church must be done in 40 days. For finished building was considered one that have a roof. Because the short deadline the people decided to lay the foundations and build the roof first, which managed to fit within the given deadline.
