HAGİOS GEORGİOS (AYA YORGİ) KİLİSESİ. Metruk bi vaziyette. Her halde tamamen yıkılmayı bekliyor. Zamana karşı adeta çığlık atmakta. Kısa bi kaç bilği edindim : Kilisenin ismini, inşa tarihini, banisini gösteren herhangi bir kitabe yoktur. Mimari açıdan kilise, doğu-batı doğrultusunda, 26.35 metre uzunluğunda, 14.70 metre genişliğinde, kapalı Yunan haçı planlı bir yapıdır. Üç katlı olarak düzenlenen cephenin ilk katında, yuvarlak kemerli, üçgen alınlıklı, dar ve uzun kapılar yer almaktadır. İkinci katında, beş açıklıklı, kemerli pencereler yer bulunmaktadır. Beşli pencerenin hizasında iki yanda, bir sütunun ayırdığı ikiz pencereler vardır. Son katta ise, yarım daire formlu geniş açıklıklar kuzey ve güney cephelerinin düzenini oluşturmaktadır.
HAGIOS GEORGIOS (AYA YORGI) CHURCH. It's in a derelict state. In any case, it awaits complete destruction. It's like screaming against time. I got a few short information: There is no inscription showing the name of the church, the date of construction, and the founder. Architecturally, the church is an east-west oriented structure with a length of 26.35 meters and a width of 14.70 meters, with a closed Greek cross plan. There are narrow and long doors with round arches, triangular pediments on the first floor of the façade, which is arranged as three floors. On the second floor, there are five-span, arched windows. There are twin windows on both sides at the level of the five-window, separated by a column. On the last floor, large semicircular openings form the layout of the north and south façades.

Unfortunately, there is no church, just abandoned ruins. Needs urgent attention of the officials...

Very sad and untidy. The municipality doesn't take care about this place, but it worth to be seen

A church worthy of sight seeing... However, as always with some backwards mindset throughout the country... The damned place is in dire need of restoration and care. Everything is let to rot and is being vandalized by the youth in the region. Shame.

A ruin can only be as spectacular as Aya Yorgi. It is one of the highlights of a visit to Osmaneli town which is pretty and located along the Sakarya River.

Restoration of this great church is not optional, it is a "must" as it is a monumental cultural heritage. If not acted quickly we will see the collapse of the building soon.

The church is worn-out and ruined but almost the whole structure is still alive. Unfortunately its walls are painted and written by locals, so there isn't anything left from the original wall decorations. The building was surrounded by fences and it was forbidden to enter, however people get in via the gaps. It's said to be built at early 1900's.
