Despite its name, this is an inn rather than a church: the provincial directorate describes it as a han left from the Byzantines, in the Kitirler quarter of Gerede.

It has two storeys, some parts of them timber, entered from the south through a large door. In the middle is a fairly large open courtyard.

The ground floor held the animal shelter and rest rooms; the upper floor, reached by two wooden staircases, held the bedrooms.
