The chruch of Stapari is dedicated to the angel
Gabriel, it was built in 1821. In the book of Joakim
Vujic, we could read that the date of its
construction is 1820 by the merits of the count
Jovan Mićić and count Sredoje Arsenijevic. The
writer emphasise that at the place of this church,
there was another one burnt by Turks. It was built
from a special type of stone, very rare at the time.
It is a one-shipped building with an apside on
southern side and with the narthex on the weastern
side. The upper parts of the walls are full of
fresques probably painted between 1851 and 1862.
During the first rulership of Count Miloš Obrenović.
This church was built before those in Uzice,
Cajetina, Bioska, Kremna, Mokra Gora, Dobroselica,

biggest in this area during the 19th
century. It was a main church for the village of
Stapari but also for Volujac, Buar, Bioska, Kremna,
