Convent in honor of the Dormition of the Mother of God, Kakheti, Georgia

Vedzhinsky Convent in honor of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a precious cultural heritage of Georgia, located in the cozy village of Vedzhini, in the picturesque municipality of Gurjaani in the province of Kakheti.

This unique monastery, rising among vineyards and hills, is a beautiful architectural ensemble. The main architectural element is the domed Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, majestically rising in the center of the monastery complex. Originally built of cobblestones in the 17th century, this small church was rebuilt by the great craftsmen of the time, who transformed it into an exquisite brick building topped with a majestic dome. The work of G. Chubinashvili to restore this cultural monument allows us today to enjoy its beauty and grandeur.

A visit to the Vedzhinsky Monastery is a unique opportunity to plunge into the history and culture of Georgia. Here you can enjoy not only the majestic architecture, but also the cozy atmosphere of the place, as well as feel the spiritual heritage of this monastery, which has been and remains a place of pilgrimage and prayer for many believers.
