Annunciation Church, Gorodishche, Orthodox church ruins in Veliky Novgorod, Russia.

The remains of a stone church feature six pillars, three apses, and a staircase tower on the right bank of the Volkhov River.

Prince Mstislav Vladimirovich established the first stone church at this location in 1103, making it the second stone structure in Novgorod after Saint Sophia Cathedral.

The church walls contained 49 ancient graffiti inscriptions, including rare examples of Glagolitic script from the early 12th century.

The church ruins reopened to visitors in April 2019 following extensive restoration work that preserved the architectural elements of the medieval structure.

Archaeological excavations beneath the church revealed settlement layers from the 8th and 9th centuries, predating the arrival of the Varangians to the region.
