Church of Saint George, Sopotnica, Serbian Orthodox church in Sopotnica, Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Church of Saint George stands on the left bank of the Drina River, roughly four kilometers from Goraze at the foot of Gradina Hill. The structure is an ensemble of connected buildings that combine Romanesque and Gothic features.

Stjepan Vukčić Kosača built the church in 1454 and enlarged it in 1455, adding a Catholic chapel for his second wife Barbara. In the second half of the 16th century, under Patriarch Makarije Sokolović, monks extended it westward. It was repaired in 1869, shelled and set on fire in September 1992, restored between 2000 and 2002, and designated a National Monument in 2008.

The church is known locally as "Sopotnica Church". A 15th–16th century inscription and Ottoman censuses of 1468–1469 and 1477 record that it then served as a monastery. In the 16th century, manuscripts were copied here; a Four Gospels was transcribed at the church in 1550.

The church is accessible by the main road connecting Goraze and Visegrad, which also provides access to the surrounding landscape. The riverside location allows for exploring paths along the banks and nearby hills.

The Goražde printing house, set up at the church in 1519, was the first in present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina. It issued a hieratikon in 1519, a psalter in 1521 and a small euchologion in 1523, printed by Đurađ and Teodor Ljubavić.
