In the center of the Village of Sepci, near the cemetery, stands a wooden chapel dedicated to Saint Petka the Venerable Martyr. Based on its construction style, it is believed to have been built in the first half of the 19th century. It is one of the smallest log churches in the region. Rectangular in shape, it rests on low stone foundations and is constructed from horizontally placed oak logs joined at the corners using the ‘naćert’ technique.
At the front of the chapel, there is a porch supported by three profiled columns with capitals, enclosed by wooden planks. The roof is four-sided and covered with terracotta tiles.
