It was converted to a mosque during the Ottoman Empire and then back into an Orthodox Church in the early 20th century.The Church was guarded by KFOR after June 1999. However, it was burned down during the 2004 unrest in Kosovo by Albanian mobs.A group of experts sponsored by Serbia has visited the church on several occasions to assess the damage, but no concrete steps have been taken. The church is subject to constant looting (valuable lead has repeatedly been stolen from the roof).On July 13, 2006 Our Lady of Ljeviš was placed on UNESCO's World Heritage List as an extension of the Visoki Dečani site (named Medieval Monuments in Kosovo and Metohija), which as a whole was placed on the List of World Heritage Sites in danger.<img src="http://www.terrorwhy.kg.co.yu/images/ljeviska/ljeviska2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The famous fresco "Bathing of the Christ" before it was destroyed and burned by Albanians in 2004<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/Ljeviska007.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A fresco of Saint Simeon (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Nemanja" target="_blank">Stefan Nemanja</a>), the Father of the Serbian Orthodox Church <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ce/Simeon_Ljeviska.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
