Jruchi monastery, Orthodox monastery in Sachkhere Municipality, Georgia.
The stone monastery stands at the headwaters of the Jruchula River, featuring architectural elements characteristic of medieval Georgian religious structures.
Originally constructed between the 9th and 11th centuries, the monastery underwent several reconstructions until its final architectural form was completed in 1846.
The monastery housed precious illuminated manuscripts of the Gospels, known as Jruchi I and II, dating from 936 and the late 12th century.
The monastery remains are accessible through the village of Tskhomareti, though most of the structure collapsed during the 1991 Racha earthquake.
The monastery walls contain a bas-relief depicting two separate images of Saint George fighting against a dragon and an emperor.
