SerbiaAffiliation Serbian Orthodoxy Leadership Serbian Orthodox Church Architectural description Completed 1805-1812 Specifications The Odžaklija church (Serbian: Оџаклија, Chimney church also known as the Old church, Стара црква) is a early 19th-century Serbian Orthodox church located in Leskovac, Serbia.
It was built during the First Serbian Uprising of the Serbian revolution. The Ottoman Empire forbade the locals to build a church, so the people announced the building of a home to the town priest, adding a nonfunctioning chimney to fool the Turkish lords.
