Okay, here goes some from [1]:

  • A footpath along the shore of the Nishava leads to the crumbling little church...
  • Its walls, built of stone and mortar, are quite thick, 85-90 cm. It has a west wall and an apse window. The roof is vaulted on the inside and covered by slates on the outside. The interior of the church is entirely painted in ancient frescoes.
  • As early as 1890, the Škorpil brothers found [the church] and discovered and published a historical inscription on its west wall [followed by inscription as translated in article]. It led some to believe that the church was built namely during the reign of Tsar Ivan Asen (1218–1241), and possibly with his assistance. ...
  • The Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Berende has reached our time as initially built ...
  • In the lowest part, up until half a metre from the floor, the murals have been entirely destroyed by [capillary?] moisture from the foundations. The general condition of painting is worrying — the painting service is almost entirely veiled, and in many places there is whitening as a result of salts as a result of the penetration of irrigational moisture.

From [2]:

  • An image of a tsar with an iscription was preserved on the exterior west wall up until the early 20th century: [followed by inscription]

From [3]:

  • With the uncovering of the murals of the Saint Nicholas Church in Stanichene, Pirot region, where in 1331–1332 Tsar Ivan Alexander (1331–1371), referenced as Ivan Asen, the dating of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul to the 14th century was established as corresponding to the style of its murals and reasonable.

[4] and [5] are mostly a description of the murals.

If you need the reference to any specific fact in the article directly quoted from the source and translated in English to verify, do let me know! Best, Toдor Boжinov 21:32, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
