St. George church in Chișinău, Orthodox church in central Chișinău, Moldova.

St. George Church displays a rectangular layout without apses, featuring a fifteen-meter-high tower constructed from fired brick at its entrance.

The construction of St. George Church began in 1814 under Metropolitan Gavriil Bănulescu-Bodoni's guidance and reached completion in 1819 with the installation of the iconostasis.

Religious services at St. George Church incorporated both Romanian and Russian languages during the period between World Wars, reflecting the local community's diversity.

The church maintains its function as an active Orthodox place of worship, welcoming visitors to observe its architectural features and religious artifacts.

During World War I, German troops converted the church into a prison and stable, causing substantial damage that required repairs from 1919 to 1922.
