The temple is completely made of stone. A monument of historical and cultural heritage.
The II century AD is a
special church - completely made of stone, a place with a history. I really liked it from the point of view of architecture and especially the mood from the fact that the church is made of stone both inside and outside. Original. The history of Alan temples
There is a well-groomed area around
An active Christian church in Abkhazia on the territory of the early medieval fortress of Abaat in the city of Gagra.
There is a teahouse nearby
It is located 5 minutes from a public transport stop
It is a very unusual church because it is made of stone. The inside is still the same stone and no decoration.. It is very atmospheric and cozy..Nearby, the bell tower, also not usually located, stands separately at the temple..
The ancient, strong, powerful Christian Orthodox church is not in very good condition, since the state does not maintain it, so if there is an opportunity to donate something to the maintenance of the Temple, then do not skimp on Those sisters and servants of the Temple whom I saw, like Russians. Few people know about it, because without a car I don't even know how to get here, I came by car. But, nevertheless, sightseeing buses come to the Temple periodically. There are also ancient ruins of some kind of castle next to the Temple... If you are driving, I recommend visiting this place.
An ancient stone temple, approximately VI century..
Surprisingly gracious! The staff are friendly! All Orthodox vacationers in Abkhazia definitely need to visit this holy place!!!
A wonderful PLACE - OLD GAGRA, ABAAT! A very unusual stone CHURCH OF ST. HYPATIUS! WE CAME WITH THE CHILDREN MANY TIMES, BUT IT FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME!!! THE ATMOSPHERE IN THE TEMPLE IS UNUSUAL - THE PLACE IS VERY SALTY!!!!
A beautiful historical place, preserved in almost pristine condition. Perennial cypresses decorate and add grandeur.
The church is small and active. Services are conducted regularly.
I really liked this place. Accidentally discovered during a walk. I was struck by the powerful cypress crowns at the entrance. The temple itself is made of stone and inside too. You can put candles on, pray.
An atmospheric place, of course, must be visited, since historical facts are always interesting and allow you to understand a little more closely what events took place in the distant past in different countries.
Services are held at 8:00 and 16:00 in Russian and Abkhaz languages. On the territory there is a refectory, a small museum, a church shop, a souvenir shop.
A beautiful temple. On the mountain, you need to master the steps, which are steep enough, keep this in mind. From the height there is a magnificent view of the mountains. Large parking lot.
A very beautiful place, despite its shabby appearance inside. The temple is cool and atmospheric. Everyone who goes to Abkhazia by the sea should definitely come here.
A small temple, everything is made of stone inside and out. We went in and touched the story. There is a bell tower next to the temple, the territory is well maintained and beautiful.
Such temples attract with their history. The place seems to be saturated with energy. You should definitely come and stay at the service, listen to the bells
We have been vacationing in Gagra for the 4th year and always come here. An atmospheric place. And most importantly - the oldest, but functioning temple
It's a very beautiful place. Both inside and out. It's just a pity that the temple is actually located on the territory of the hotel. Well, or vice versa.
The temple is located on the territory of the former fortress of Abaat . Apart from the church, there are no other historical sites (only a cafe and a hotel. There is a cypress alley in the courtyard. Very tall and slender trees.
A miraculously preserved monument of Christian religious architecture of the early Middle Ages.
You touch the ancient walls with trepidation, realizing what a centuries-old memory they carry.
A cozy, small temple. It has a long history. It is a miracle that it has been preserved in a good shape and place. He is active, services are underway. Its difference is that the bells are not on top, but on the ground. That's the beauty of it.
Прекрасное место.
В воскресенье попали на службу.
Старинная,красивая маленькая церковь.
Во дворе женщина в возрасте раздавала м аленький кусочки освящённого хлеба.
В Армении также раздают лаваш(ншхар) всем кто хочет. Но к сажалению здесь попрасив кусочек для дочери, я так и не дождалась.Женщина сурово и с нежеланием ответила ,что это причастникам...
Маленький и красивый храм. Доброжелательный мужчина подсказал где взять платки и юбки. Удивили кондиционеры на древних стенах). К посещению рекомендую.
The temple has been standing for fifteen hundred years, hotels and restaurants have already been built around it, but people have not forgotten the road...
"Это самая первобытная, самая простая крепость, какую только можно видеть среди церквей первых веков христианства", — писал о нем швейцарский этнограф Фредерик Дюбуа де Монпере.
Рядом очень живописные места.
Несмотря на то, что в настоящий момент в первозданном виде Абаата не сохранилась, храм, расположенный на территории крепости, остался нетронутым. Ему оказались нипочем многочисленные сражения, смена хозяев крепости и то, как после Крымской войны вернувшиеся в гарнизон русские военные превратили его в пороховой погреб. Конечно не без помощи реставраторов.
В настоящее время крепость Абаата – памятник истории, а в храме Святого Ипатия с 2012 года возобновились церковные богослужения.
А вот этот Храм я бы даже сказал Храмик очень антуражно, маленький уютный, кондиционер работает , хотя кажется мне что с такой толщиной стен там и не жарко должно быть.
Удивительное место. Скрытое от глаз, но стоит его найти - маленькая церковь и лавка. Внутри уникальный каменный алтарь. Такого я не видела больше нигде.
