Greece - Pyrsogianni, Church of St George

The new Church of St George was built in 1903-1905, after the old church - dating back to the year of 1712 -with the same name was demolished. Although rather ‘young’ the church has a beautiful interior with remarkable pillars, some chandeliers and a woodcarved iconostase.

The Church of St. George was built according to the standards of the Cathedral of Athens, with voluntary work of craftsmen of the village, while the basic cost of the construction was covered by the contributions of people coming from Pyrsogianni from all over the world.
