Its story
The Aya Yorgi Church was built in the 19th century for the Greek Orthodox community living in Osmaneli. Used for various purposes for a long time after the population exchange, the building gradually fell into disrepair. Its cut-stone walls and basilica plan reflect the typical features of provincial Anatolian churches of the period. Together with the town's historic mansions, the church tells of Osmaneli's multilayered past. Because of its state of restoration, access to the interior may be restricted.
