The church in the village Vinarce is considered to be very old -- some sources claim it to be even 600 years old. The documents about the origins of the church have disappeared, and thus the question to whom the church belonged -- to the Serbians or to the Albanians -- cannot easily be answered.
The fact that the front door is facing to the west indicates that the church was a Catholic church; Orthodox churches are built with the front door facing the east. Also, the name of the village, Vinarce, is related to wine, which suggests that the area was good for planting grapes and wine making. According to an old Catholic tradition, it was common to build a churches in such areas.
The Rime Church is located in an Albanian village, but it has been visited from Serbs for special Christian holidays, like Easter or Christmas.
