The church of Saint George stands in Toki village in Aspindza Municipality, and sources assign it to the 14th century. The hall is laid of grey ashlars and set on a single step plinth, with a hiding place made on the north side.
The entrance is on the south with an arched door, an arched window sits in each of the west and east walls, and the wide arched window of the south facade was cut later. A plain single step pointed surround finishes the walls and the roof is covered with sheet metal.
On the east a semicircular apse holds an arched window on its axis with rectangular niches on either side and an altar stone standing before it. The sanctuary is separated by side walls whose capitals carry the arch of the conch, and it is widened at the front by a solea raised on a step. Two pairs of two step pilasters divide the hall: decorative wall arches spring from the lower steps while the capitals of the upper ones carry the vault.
💡 Tip
- A hiding place is made on the north side of the church
