| Location: It is located on the southeast of Madensehri Village in Merkez District of Karaman Province. |
| Geography and Environment: Since there are a lot of church remains around Madensehri Village, the churches in the region are called Binbirkilise and the structures are named with numbers. |
| Research and Excavation: When Smirnoff and C. Holzmann visited the church, it was intact. However, W.M. Ramsay and G.L. Bell saw that the church was heavily damaged during their research. |
| Description: Architectural Features: The structure has been completely vanished. It is understood that the church is in cross plan in the form of T. The apse is in semicircular plan both inside and outside. The scholars stated that the cross-arms are in the same height with the apse and the center where the cross-arms intersect are roofed by dome. |
