It is located on the southeast of the structure no. 6 in Madensehri Village in Merkez District of Karaman Province. 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. The foundation of a house, the half of the door of which is preserved, was found near the structure [Eyice 1971b:35]. It was surveyed by W.M. Ramsay and G.L. Bell. During W. Ramsay's survey, the structure was already heavily damaged and it couldn't be understand what kind of structure it was. Only a few traces remained today. But Ramsay and Bell stated that it was a church with a single nave.
