The full name of this church gathers two references at once: Knolevi and Gomarti. Georgian usage often marks churches this way when they stand between villages or in an area on the boundary of their lands.
Exact ownership is hard to determine, but it is immediately clear where people come to the church from. The place lies in the hills north-east of Kareli, away from asphalt, and everything here depends on the weather and your ground clearance. For anyone who has already walked the Bredzi trio and Satsikhuri, this church extends the route northwards.
No dating has become attached to the building. There are no explanatory signs or signposts, and the last stretch of road is unpaved. Dress soberly and treat the walls with care.
