The Odžaklija church (Serbian: Оџаклија Chimney church also known as the Old church Стара црква) is an early 19th-century Serbian Orthodox church located in Leskovac Serbia. It was built during the First Serbian Uprising of the Serbian revolution. The Ottoman Empire forbade the locals to build a church so the people announced the building of a home to the town priest adding a nonfunctioning chimney to fool the Turkish lords.
