Mishveli Church “Pichu-Okhvame” is a church in the village of Mishveli, Ochamchire municipality, Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia, Georgia.

History

The church was built in the late Middle Ages. The construction represents a hall church, which was built with uncut stones and pebbles. The church is heavily damaged. The church walls are in poor physical condition and need urgent conservation.

  1. The political status of Abkhazia is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Georgia in 1992, Abkhazia is formally recognised as an independent state by 5 UN member states (two other states previously recognised it but then withdrew their recognition), while the remainder of the international community recognizes it as de jure Georgian territory. Georgia continues to claim the area as its own territory, designating it as Russian-occupied territory.
