  • Description

The Church of St. George, the majestic architectural wonder of Samegrelo, invites you on an exciting journey into the past. Built at the end of the 18th century by master Anton Chkondideli, this church became not only the spiritual center of the village of Sudzhuna, but also a symbol of its wealth and splendor.

The village of Sudzhuna, with its mild climate, was a summer vacation spot and residence for Chkondideli, and its church bore the imprint of prosperity and luxury. Inside the temple, as if in a treasury, precious icons and crosses were kept, testifying to the faith and wealth of this place.

Architecturally, the church impresses with its beauty and exquisite details. The domed building with three protruding apses creates an impression of grandeur and tranquility. The facades are decorated with graceful arches, and the entrances rise above the rest thanks to exquisite carvings. The white cut stone used gives the church special strength and grandeur.

The bell tower rising to the south of the church is no less impressive. Its high walls, built from the same white stone, demonstrate craftsmanship and durability. Both floors of the bell tower are open outward with arches, inviting every visitor to enjoy views of the surrounding nature and the horizons of the distant past.

The Church of St. George in Sujun is not just a place for prayer, it is a unique historical heritage that personifies the spirit and richness of Georgian culture. By visiting this place, you will plunge into the atmosphere of antiquity and grandeur, enjoy the beauty of architectural masterpieces and discover a piece of the history of this beautiful country.

    სამეუფო გრძნობებში გამიცოცხლა წმინდა გიორგის ლამაზი ტაძარი, რომელიც სიწმინდეში და სიმშვიდეში მოქცეული მელოდა, თითქოსდა წარსულის სიმბოლოებით გადავსებულ მხარეში შევედი.

    В тишине каменных стен и под взглядом древних икон приходит ощущение спокойствия и умиротворения, словно время замедлило свой ход. Возвышающийся над горизонтом белоснежный купол служит маяком для тех, кто ищет кусочек гармонии. Колокольня соседствует с могучими липами и кедрами, обрамляющими это место, и кажется, что они хранят дух минувших веков. Каждый камень здесь говорит о прошлом, напоминает о вечных ценностях, даря необычайное чувство внутренней свободы и света.
