The Church of St. George in the village of Jer (in Georgian, Geri) in South Ossetia was built earlier than 1855.
In 2019, the roof was covered with German tiles, emphasizing the ancient style of the architectural monument.
This place is known as "Djery dzuar Uastyrdzhi" – lit. "Uastyrdzhi Jewish Sanctuary".
A delicious cherry plum grows behind the temple.
22 km from Tskhinvali.

I really liked this place, despite the fact that it is difficult to get there. Although the same fact is a huge plus, because few will be able to visit it and cause damage. People! Please take your trash with you, it is not appropriate to pollute holy places.🙏
It's an uplifting place, you definitely need to get there. Magnificent view of the valley of Kura and Gori. In dry weather, even a jeep is not needed, but four-wheel drive is better, as well as many places in Iryston.
