From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Our Lady of Ljeviš (Serbian Cyrillic: Богородица Љевишка, Serbian Latin: Bogorodica Ljeviška) is a 12th century Serbian Orthodox Church in the town of Prizren, located in the disputed Serbian province of Kosovo[1]. It was converted into a mosque during the Ottoman Empire and then turn back into an Orthodox Church in early XX century.
The Church was guarded by KFOR after June 1999. However, it was burned down during 2004 unrest in Kosovo by Albanian mobs.
A group of experts sponsored by Serbia has visited the church in several occasions to assess the damages, but no concrete steps have been taken. Church is subject to constant lootings (the costly lead roof has been repeatedly stolen).
On July 13, 2006 Our Lady of Ljeviš was placed on UNESCO's World Heritage List as an extension of the Visoki Dečani site which was overall placed on the List of World Heritage Sites in danger.
