The Church of St. Nicholas (Serbian: Црква светог Николе/Crkva Svetog Nikole; Albanian: Kisha e Shën Nikollës Tutiqëve), also known as Tutić Church (Tutićeva crkva) is a Serbian Orthodox church located in Prizren in Kosovo. It was founded in 1331–1332 by Dragoslav Tutić, whose monastic name was Nikola (Nicholas), and his wife Bela. Later, the church became a possession of the Visoki Dečani Monastery. Since 1990, it has been on Serbia's list of Monuments of Culture of Exceptional Importance.[1] At the time of the 2004 unrest in Kosovo, the church was vandalized.[2] Since 2005, with financial support from the European Union, work has been undertaken to restore the church to its original state.[3]
