Église Saint-Georges, Orthodox temple in Taganrog, Russia

Saint George Church is an Orthodox temple with five bells housed in a stone building located on Mashinny Lane in Taganrog. The structure measures approximately 21 by 11 meters (69 by 36 feet) and functions as an active place of worship for the city.

On 26 May 1943, workers of the Taganrog metallurgical plant and residents of Kasperovka, Skaramangovka and Novoselovka asked the occupation authorities to open a church on Staro-Pochtovaya Street, and it was housed in a small shop building. In 1945 it moved to a nearby stone warehouse on Mashinny Lane, consecrated by Bishop Joseph of Taganrog. From 1945 to 1986 services were held quietly; in 1986 protoiereus Arian Pnevsky began a reconstruction to his own design, and the rebuilt church was consecrated on 5 May 1991 by Metropolitan Vladimir of Rostov and Novocherkassk.

The parish was founded on 26 May 1943 at the request of workers from the metallurgical plant and residents of the Kasperovka, Skaramangovka and Novoselovka districts. Its patronal feast honours Saint George the Victorious, and the rebuilt church was consecrated on 5 May 1991, close to that feast day.

The church stands at Mashinny Lane 5, in the Chugunny Lane area of the former Staro-Pochtovaya quarter, on the left bank side of Taganrog. The 2013 reconstruction, planned in Byzantine style with a dome of about 17 metres, is carried out in stages so as not to disrupt parish life. Visitors should check service times in advance, since the grounds and buildings are being reworked.

The parish marked its 70th anniversary on 9 May 2013, when Metropolitan Merkury of Rostov and Novocherkassk served a festive Divine Liturgy in the church. The community had been founded on 26 May 1943, when metalworkers and residents asked the occupation authorities for a church on Staro-Pochtovaya Street.
