Na wprost drewniana cerkiew widziana na zewnątrz od strony trójbocznego prezbiterium. Przy nim niższa zakrystia z drzwiami z tyłu. Dalej szersza nawa. Dachy pokryte jasną blachą, z trzema wieżyczkami z sygnaturkami. Wokoło trawnik i niskie ogrodzenie z kamieni. Za cerkwią widać drzewa i w oddali zalesione wzgórza. Niebo zachmurzone.
