Church of the Holy Mother of God

Many people have explored this church. There are many interpretations and it is not possible to determine exactly which of them is correct. It is believed that the church was built by the Grand Duke of the despot Lazar Brankovic, Mihajlo Andjelovic. It is also believed that Mihajlo and his wife with their three sons are painted on the upper floor. However, Ljubinković returns to his earlier conclusion that it does not necessarily mean that Mihajlo was actually the ruler of this area. Interpreting the research of the Turkish censuses, Bojanic-Lukac finds data that completely exclude the possibility that Mihajlo Andjelkovic was the master of this area. Only after the works in 1985, the church was declared a cultural monument and now the inhabitants of Donja Kamenica take care of it. In his book on the Principality of Serbia, Felix Kanic, a German, described ""Abogović's church"" in the village of Donja Kamenica. It is stated that it was built during the time of the despot Djurdj Smederevac. It turns out that despot Mihailo Abogović built the same place of worship in 1456. They are shown on the wall paintings in the narthex ""Michael the Despot"", the son of ""Michael the Emperor"", then his wife ""Despot Jelena"", the daughter of ""Despot Peter"". However, Dr. Vladislav Petković determined in 1932 that Despot Mihailo had nothing in common with ""Mihailo Abogović""; he was not the founder, but the master (of unknown nationality) of the independent area of Vidin, to which Donja Kamenica also belonged at that time. The real founder (with his family) is painted in two places in the church frescoes - in the narthex and the church itself. In addition to the father and mother, their little daughter is also shown, next to whose character it says ""Vukosava"", as well as the little son. The preserved inscriptions on the paintings are written in Greek, and only five saints bear Serbian-Slavic names.
