Kurmukhi church, Georgian Orthodox church in Qakh District, Azerbaijan
The stone church stands with a central dome structure and features traditional Georgian ecclesiastical architecture with detailed masonry and religious decorations throughout its interior.
Following destruction by Shah Abbas I, the church underwent reconstruction in 1894 under Archimandrite Leonid, who later became Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia.
The church hosts Kurmukhoba, a celebration of Saint George that brings together Christian and Muslim communities, particularly the Ingiloy people of the region.
The religious monument remains closed for regular services but accepts visitors who wish to explore the architectural elements and religious artifacts inside.
The first written record of this religious structure appears in a Georgian Gospel from 1310, confirming its early connection to Georgian Orthodox traditions.
