Church of St. George, Orthodox memorial church in Kursk, Russia.

The Church of St. George is an Orthodox memorial structure in Kursk with marble plates set into its walls. These plaques bear the names of approximately 7000 soldiers who died during combat.

The church was conceived as a monument to soldiers killed in the 1943 Battle of Kursk and laid down in 1998, on the battle's 55th anniversary. A parish was organized in 2002 under Metropolitan Juvenal of Kursk and Rylsk. Construction to designs by Kursk architects Valery Mikhailov and Pavel Pakhomov finished in 2008, and Archbishop German of Kursk and Rylsk consecrated the church on 5 October 2008, the battle's 65th anniversary, when the first liturgy was served.

The church is part of the Kursk Bulge memorial complex and doubles as a bell tower. Its name honours St George, patron of soldiers, and the parish was formally established in 2002 under Metropolitan Juvenaly. Nine bronze bells hang in the belfry, and the gilded dome is shaped like a crown.

The church stands at Karla Marksa Street 76-b, within the Kursk Bulge memorial complex, and is entered from the memorial grounds. The interior is a single tall hall ringed by marble name plaques, with 16 columns supporting the dome; the bell tower rises about 47 metres. The site is an active parish, so visits fit around services.

The church stands on 280 reinforced-concrete piles, and its gilded dome is shaped like a crown. Nine bronze bells hang in the bell tower. The interior is ringed by about 7,000 marble plaques bearing the names of soldiers killed on the Kursk Bulge, the number found in the Kursk Book of Memory.
