The Church of St. George within the Monastery of Vraćevšnica, a legacy of the great magnate Radič, was built and painted between 1428 and 1431. It is a single nave building with a semicircular inside and five-sided from the outside east apse, and a vestibule with a dome on the west side. The church was first renovated in 1579, and then probably in 1737 when the original paintings were fully restored. Restoration works carried out at the beginning of the fifth and then at the beginning of the seventh decade of the XIX century were the most extensive. So far unknown documents from the Archives of Serbia revealed new details about the executed works. Together with the descriptions of the church written by travel writers and antiques researchers from the period between the third and seventh decade of the XIX century, the documents make it possible to understand the scope of the works and thus gain a better knowledge of the original appearance of the Vraćevšnica temple. The church was destr...oyed in 1813 and restored between 1840 and 1842, when a new west vestibule with a dome was built. The works executed at that time were of poor quality and there was a danger that the newly built vestibule with a dome would jeopardize the whole church. Upon his return to power, prince Miloš, permanently connected to Vraćevšnica through the memory of his mother and two children buried in the monastery yard, and of Abbot Melentije Pavlović buried in the narthex of the church, decided to restore the church. Then once again was built a new west vestibule with a dome and the crypt below it, which was intended to be the family mausoleum. Apparently, during this renovation a door was opened on the north façade of the nave, the height of the side walls of the temple was slightly increased and thus changed the slope of the roof covering. It is not possible to determine whether formwork setting on the façade was performed on that occasion. Windows are also different from the original. Regarding the plan and structure, the present church retained its original appearance despite subsequent renovations.
