Matenoura Church
| Rebuilt in 2010, the church welcomes visitors with its renewed charm. |
| As you enter the village from the national highway and make your way toward the church, you will find the “Orashokan,” believed to have been the first place of prayer in Matenoura, though its exact origins remain unknown. When the original church became too small, a new one was constructed at the present site in 1956, and this was later replaced by the current church building in 2010. The community gained full independence as the Matenoura Parish in 1975. |
