The most unusual church. It's so cozy and peaceful. We really like to visit it. The church was built in 1908. During the USSR it was used as a warehouse. After the expulsion of the Georgians, it was restored and launched. The unusual architecture resembles the Kremlin Towers. A very friendly father. The place is visited by pilgrims. And excursions. You definitely need to visit. It is located next to the road near the village of Agudzera. You will need to stop at the beach in Agudzera on your way. You won't regret it

A very unusual temple, unlike most Orthodox churches. This is the Temple of Elijah the Prophet, built in 1908 at the expense of the famous philanthropist, timber industrialist Nikolai Nikolaevich Smetsky. At the beginning of the XX century, Kostroma landowner Nikolai Nikolaevich Smetskoy acquired several plots of land in Sukhum in the Gulrypsha and Agudzera areas, where he arranged an arboretum with rare subtropical plants and built a sanatorium for patients with tuberculosis and pulmonary diseases. He also built a church with his own funds in a peculiar style. But the temple did not serve its intended purpose for long. During the Soviet era, the temple was closed, and the building housed a library and storage facilities. The revival of the Temple of the Prophet Elijah began after the end of the 1992-1993 war. By the efforts of parishioners from all regions of Abkhazia, a refectory and baptismal room were attached to the temple, the lower part of the temple, where services were held more than a hundred years ago, was restored. Today, the temple has been completely restored, the most valuable ancient icons have been restored. Divine services in the temple are conducted in the Abkhazian and Old Slavic languages, and Byzantine chants are in three languages – Old Slavic, Greek and Abkhazian.

Ильинская церковь привлекает внимание своей необычной архитектурой, сочетающей элементы стиля модерн с романскими и даже готическими элементами — одна только восьмиэтажная колокольня из красного кирпича чего стоит! В годы советской власти здесь работала библиотека, складские помещения и прочие хозяйственные учреждения, сейчас храм восстановлен, пристроены трапезная и баптистерий, отреставрированы древние и выполнены новые иконы. Интересно, что богослужения в храме Илии Пророка ведутся на старославянском и абхазском языках, а песнопения звучат на старославянском, греческом и абхазском

Многим кажется, что храм католический из за его архитектуры. Построен костромским купцом в начале 20 века. Приятно внутри, но кроме свечей, которые можно купить, нет церковной лавки.

Старая церковь. Крестилась там. Батюшка крестили меня прямо в реке. Одна из немногих, посвящённых Илье пророку. Во многих церквях даже его иконы нет. Живу рядом, для меня это важно, т.к. родила в день Ильи Пророка
