Die Kirche der Heiligen Mutter Gottes im Asen's Fortress stammt aus dem 12. Jhd und zählt zu den am besten erhaltenen mittelalterlichen Sakralbauten der Rhodopen. Über dem Narthex erhebt sich ein rechteckiger Turm, der als eines der frühesten erhaltenen Beispiele dieser Bauform auf dem Balkan gilt. Im Inneren der Kirche sind noch Fresken-Fragmente zu erkennen, die einst den Raum vollständig schmückten.
