Serbia Chapel Of ST. Andrew The First Called
This wooden chapel, dedicated to St. Andrew the First-Called, is located in open countryside about 4 km east of Mećavnik. Set in a quiet field surrounded by low vegetation and gentle slopes, the structure is rustic and spiritually evocative. The terrain is flat and easily accessible, making the chapel a powerful visual centerpiece for both daytime and nighttime photography. Its solitude and lack of modern interference make it especially suitable for storytelling with a spiritual, rural, or contemplative tone.
