The Church of St Lazar near the river Belicnica in the village of Belica in Kujavca, 13 km south-east of Istok, was built in the 14th century and underwent several restorations throughout the 16th, 17th, 18th and 20th century (1966-68). Lazarica was a single-nave and vaulted church with remains of the narthex in its front. Around the church are old and the new cemeteries.
