The temple of Taxiarches in Kokkinogeia of Drama is a building of 1820, as one of the two foundational inscriptions built into the southern wall informs us. It is a one-room, wooden-roofed church, the second oldest preserved in the prefecture of Drama and one of the few preserved temples in the prefecture that follow this specific – very common during the post-Byzantine period – architectural type. The internal dimensions of the building are 14 x 4.60m. Initially, the length of the temple was shorter, namely 11.20 m., but an extension to the west is responsible for the current dimensions. On either side of the niche of the step there are small semicircular niches inscribed in the thickness of the wall. Access to the temple is through two doors, which open in the middle of its western and southern sides. The temple is built with rough stones and lime mortar. Three small arched windows open high on the side (north and south) sides. Two large rectangular windows open on the north and south sides of the added section. The niche of the sanctuary is blind, while above it, in the middle of the eastern wall, a small slit-like opening opens. The temple is covered with a double roof that has partitions on the narrow sides. The eastern wall of the temple has chamfered corners at its two corners. An open timber-roofed portico surrounds the south and west sides of the temple. The church’s wood-carved iconostasis can be dated, based on its despotic icons, to 1870. It is usually divided into three zones and belongs to the folk-style iconostasis, which tries to imitate the dominant neoclassical iconostasis from the middle of the 19th century.

South of the church there is a bell tower, built in 1886, as evidenced by an inscription on a built-in stone slab. The bell tower is stone-built, with a square plan, and develops on two floors.

In the courtyard of the church there were, at least until 1992, scattered architectural elements from the early Christian period, which probably indicated the existence of an early Christian temple in the area.
