Français : Chapelle serbe dédiée aux soldats tombés au pic Kajmakčalan (2521 m), lieu de combats acharnés à l'automne 1916. Ce sommet était un point important du front de Macédoine durant la Grande Guerre, d'où en 1918 les troupes franco-serbes lancèrent une grande offensive qui força la Bulgarie à capituler. Après quoi, le front des Balkans s'effondra, l'Autriche-Hongrie et l'Empire ottoman (dont la liaison ferroviaire avec les ressources allemandes étaient coupées) capitulèrent aussi. Aujourd'hui on voit encore des restes de cette bataille : ossements, obus, grenades, bunkers et tranchées. À une quarantaine de mètres en contrebas de la chapelle se trouve un ossuaire où sont recueillis les ossements trouvés dans la montagne.
