The Church of St. Archangel Michael in the village of Krakornitsa is a single-nave structure with a narthex on the western side and an arched bell tower positioned in the central part. It is covered with a gabled metal roof. It dates back to the 15th century (?), was first renovated in the mid-19th century, and was renovated again in 1998, when its frescoes were painted.
In the altar space, two scenes from the older fresco painting are preserved within two niches: the Crucifixion of Christ, and Jesus Christ in a chalice flanked by two angels, where the year 192(3) is noted in the donor's inscription.
The iconostasis is two-tiered, featuring an iconostasis cross with a renovated wooden structure. Among the several icon painters (zografs) who worked on the icons in the church, only Hadzhi Anagnost (1847) is known to us.
