The church was the central church of the settlement of the same name, which was abandoned in 1948. The church is located in the Paphos forest, towards the Cross of Psoka, east of Lysos. Today, the single-nave wooden-roofed church is entirely new, built on the site of an older building of unknown size and type. The church is constructed with adobe masonry. Its main entrance is located to the west.
A 19th-century wooden procession cross, which comes from the old church of Agios Merkourios, is currently kept in the church of Panagia Chryseleousa in Lysos. On one side is depicted the Baptism and on the other the Crucifixion of Christ.
