descriere biserica
De mici dimensiuni, biserica are formă dreptunghiulară, fiind alcătuită din pronaos suprapus de un turn-clopotniţă masiv, naos pătrat şi o absidă semicirculară decroşată, fiecare spaţiu având sistemul propriu de acoperire: semicalotă la altar, boltă semicilindrică cu dispunere axială la naos şi transversală la pronaos. Singularitatea planului constă în adoptarea uneia dintre cele mai vechi soluţii de compartimentare a interiorului la o biserică-sală prin intermediul unor elemente de origine bizantină: tâmpla de zid, cu două intrări, şi peretele despărţitor dintre pronaos şi naos. Distrugerilor suferite la 1762, 1785 şi 1792 le-au urmat refaceri care au afectat stratul de pictură, dar au păstrat, în esenţă, aspectul original al lăcaşului.

semicalotte
I've encountered the word "calotte" on several English-language websites, including Wiki.
Here's are a few usages from architectural articles, referring specifically to Orthodox churches:

semi-dome

A dome equivalent to one-quarter of a hollow sphere, covering a semicircular area, such as an apse.

In architecture, the apse (Latin absis "arch, vault"; sometimes written apsis; plural apses) is a semicircular recess covered with a hemispherical vault. In Romanesque, Byzantine and Gothic Christian abbey, cathedral and church architecture, the term is applied to the semi-circular or polygonal section of the sanctuary at the liturgical east end beyond the altar.
Geometrically speaking, an apse is either a half-cone or half-dome.
