Characteristic of the village are its many churches and chapels. The most important is the church of Agios Apostolos, which is a three-aisled vaulted basilica of the continental type dating to 1856 with an ornate iconostasis and wooden capitals. In the domes of the middle aisle, on the wall on the south side and in the niche of the Sanctuary, remarkable frescoes are preserved. It has been declared a "monument to special state protection since 1997". [4] To the west of Aidonochori, at a distance of about 2 km, is the Monastery of Taxiarches Gouras. It was built in the 16th century, on a rocky and fortified location overlooking the north and the point where Aoos and Sarandaporos meet and the surrounding area. [5]
History
The old name of the village was Ostanitsa. [6] During the occupation, on July 8, 1943, German troops invaded the village, and the next day, civilians were executed and most of the houses were set on fire. [7] Since 2017, it has been designated a "witness city" by presidential decree. [8]
