The Temple of Pammegistos Taxiarch Michael belongs typologically to the cruciform rhythm with a dome and is built entirely of Holomont’s stone and mostly by volunteer work of the inhabitants, upon the on-call of Matthew the Hieromonk (Stergioni) and the efforts of the ecclesiastical commissioners . It is built on an older temple, royal temple, which was destroyed by the Turks in 1821 and then renovated in 1914. Erection works lasted for about seven years (1970-77) and were based on plans by a German architect. In the courtyard of the Temple, there are other building complexes. There is a chapel in honor of Agios Theodoros, which was probably a temple of the monastery of the venerable I. Dochiarios Monastery. Next to the chapel, there is a room known as “cells”, which used to be multipurpose spaces of the temple and were built in 1960. They functioned as a Candelabra, as a place of pilgrim hospitality, as an ossuary. Today these cells have been restored and used for a speech room or other events. Next to the cells there is a three-story stone building, which belongs to the I Temple and was built in 1916. This building was used as an inn a few years ago, as well as a cafe where all the social events took place. Today, this building is restored very slowly, due to a lack of financial resources, in order to be used as a Presbyterian, Archontiko and Library of the I Temple, as well as as an open space for a folklore museum. There is also a recent chapel-iconostasis of Agios Dimitrios, of remarkable architecture.
