Another church of Saint George stands south of Zemo Brolosani, only some fifty metres from the older church of the same name. Sources date it to 1915, and the masonry shows it clearly: the hall is built of brick, broken sandstone and timber.
Arched entrances were made on the south and west and have now been dismantled. A wide tall arched window is cut on the axis of the semicircular apse, two more sit symmetrically on the north and south, and a broad rectangular niche is set at the eastern end of the south wall. A wooden porch adjoined the church from the west and connected to the bell tower through a door.
The facades follow a single scheme: broad pilasters on rectangular bases end in stepped brick capitals, rectangular windows are set in smooth stone frames, and a relief cross is carved above the window of the east facade. The building stands on a rusticated sandstone plinth and is crowned by a stepped brick gable. The church is damaged: the windows were taken out and the west bell tower pulled down during works.
