Saint George's Church

Saint George's Church, Church building in Gavril Genovo, Bulgaria

Saint George's Church is a single-nave stone church built in 1873 by Alekso Angelkov of the Slavine School. It has two gates, south and west, and nine large windows with simple sharp-pointed bays. The west facade carries six stone corbels for a porch that was never built, and its gable holds a sharp-pointed window cut from a single stone with rosette grating.

The church was built in 1873 in Gavril Genovo by architect Alekso Angelkov of the Slavine Architectural School. An inscription above the south gate dates the construction, and a second inscription names "Master Aleksi" as the builder. Angelkov also designed the Dormition of the Theotokos Cathedral in Pirot (1866–1870) and Saint George's Church in Bistrilitsa (1890).

The west gate's carved bays carry floral and solar rosettes, plus a stylised tree of life and two birds, one standing on the other and pecking it — a medieval image of the fight between good and evil. Architect Nikolay Tuleshkov found such archaic imagery puzzling on a village church.

The church is located in Montana Province in northwestern Bulgaria and serves as a religious center for the local community. Being a village focal point, it is easy to find and provides a good view of local architecture.

The sharp-pointed window in the west gable was cut from a single stone and fitted with a carved rosette grille. On the west gate, two birds, one pecking the other, form a medieval image of the struggle between good and evil; architect Nikolay Tuleshkov called such archaic imagery in this decoration puzzling.
