TheOdžaklija church (Serbian:Оџаклија,Chimney church also known as theOld church, Стара црква) is an early 19th-centurySerbian Orthodox church located inLeskovac,Serbia.
It was built during theFirst Serbian Uprising of theSerbian revolution. The Ottoman Empire forbade the locals to build a church, so the people announced the building of a home to the town priest, adding a nonfunctioning chimney to fool the Turkish lords.
