About

The Church of Saint Elijah is a Serbian Orthodox Church dedicated to St. Elijah in Vushtrri (Serbian: Vučitrn), Kosovo. It was built in 1834 on the foundations of an old Orthodox church, where the buried church items were found. Its murals were painted in 1871 by Blaž Damnjanović from Debar.

The church was desecrated in June 1999 in the presence of the French KFOR troops. The priest's house was also looted and damaged. The church was set on fire once again in 2004, but in the following years it was partially restored.
