The Greek hall church stands in Khojorni village in Marneuli Municipality. The building is rectangular in plan with a semicircular apse that is almost entirely plastered outside. The apse stands lower than the main body and is covered by a hipped roof of its own, so from outside the church reads as two parts set together.
Large ashlars of worked stone are laid at the corners. A greyish stone from the base of an old cross, with a rectangular hollow in its middle, is set at the southeastern corner: a detail from an earlier monument put into new masonry.
Deep rectangular niches are cut on the south side of the deep apse and arched ones on the north. A single pointed arch on pilasters carries the semicircular vault, and slabs later served as the ceiling. Two more deep niches sit in the south wall, the west entrance is dressed with an architrave, two rectangular windows on the north give the light, the interior is whitewashed and the roof is covered with slate. Sources assign the church to the 19th century.
