In the church inscriptions are mentioned king Giorgi and the builder of the church Hasan son of Arsen. According to Rene Shmerlings oppinion, the mentioned king Giorgi must be the same as king Giorgi Lasha, this means that the temple was built during his reign in 1212-1222.

In the temple, on the south wall, there is so called hidden place (its so narrow, that only a hand can reach it), where is inserted a stone, which depicts a Bolonian cross in a carved circle and Georgian inscription.
