The Church of the Mother of God is situated in Toplica, near Kuršumlija. The edifice was erected by Stefan Nemanja in 1155-1165, in an ancient place of cult dated to the 6th century.
Its a single nave triconchos, with an apse (triangular on the outside and semicircular on the inside) on its Eastern end and a narthex with two towers with rectangular ground plans (some researchers indicate that the towers were to mark the Church as a royal endowment, in accordance with the dominant custom of the time in the countries close to Raška, primarily Hungary). The Church was probably built by Constantinopolitan builders (masters). Therefore, some researchers believe that the construction of this and the Church dedicated to St. Nicholas, situated in its close proximity, sparked dispute between Nemanja (who was close to the Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos) and his older brothers.
Today the Church is in ruins.
