Saint George Orthodox Church in Warsaw, Eastern Orthodox church building in Ursynów district, Warsaw, Poland.
Saint George Orthodox Church is a brick building in the Ursynów district featuring a central dome and traditional Eastern Orthodox architectural elements. The structure displays characteristic design details that define its appearance and religious function.
Construction was completed in 2020, marking the first Orthodox church built in Warsaw since 1912. The project emerged from the Orthodox community's need for a dedicated place of worship in the city.
This church serves as a gathering place for Warsaw's Orthodox community, who come together for services and to maintain their religious traditions. The building represents a visible expression of religious diversity in the city and provides space for community life.
The location sits near the border between Ursynów and Wilanów districts and welcomes visitors. Regular services are held here and the building is supported by donations from the Orthodox community.
The height of the central dome was restricted to remain below 25 meters due to flight safety regulations near Chopin Airport. This aeronautical constraint reflects a unique aspect of the building's design tied to airport operations.
