Saint Dimitrije’s church in Brezna is considered to be the endowment of prince Miloš Obrenović, and it was built next to the place where there used to be a log-cabin church in 1817. At the beginning of August 1836, the prince sent a letter to the elders of the then Crna Gora district, Rudnik administrative unit, to inform them of his intention to start building a new church the following spring, hence demanding them to prepare the necessary material. The building of the church started following the prince’s wish in the spring of 1837. The main master was Dimitrije Sotirović; however, due to certain disagreements, prince Miloš issued an order which stated that a renowned builder Nastas Stefanović should take over the construction work. He finished the work in 1839. The church was consecrated and given to the people to use it in 1840.

Saint Dimitrije’s church is a simple single-nave building, erected in a traditional style like other village churches from Miloš’s time. There is a typical vault in its interior without a dome, which is reinforced above the nave with retaining arches that stand on pilasters with well-defined capitals. On the east part, there is a big semi-circular apse with side ambons, which gives the church the shape of triconch. The stone from nearby quarries was used as a building material, and plaster was used to cover both its exterior and interior. A gable roof, which used to be covered in tiles, now has sheet metal instead. The decoration of windows and portals is related to the southerner tradition in construction and the influence of Islam, but there are also elements taken over from log-cabin churches’ ornaments. In front of the church’s main entrance, there is a tall tower – a bell tower, which was added in recent times. Iconostasis was done during 1850-1851, some time after the church was built, in the style of Classicism with modest carvings. Icons, painted iconostasis’ details, as well as two wall paintings next to it, were done by brothers Konstantin and Dimitrije Anastasijević, painters from the South. Besides these, inside the church in Brezna, there are three icons and a church tabernacle – a work of art of a renowned XIX century painter Dimitrije Posniković.

The name of Vasa Popović from Beršići – princess Ljubica’s cousin whom prince Miloš named as the head of Požega administrative unit in 1819 – is also related to the building of the church in Brezna. He died in 1832 and was buried next to the church in Brezna. A memorial plaque on its south wall confirms the fact.
