St. George's Cathedral, not counting the St. Michael's Archangel Monastery, is the main attraction of St. George's. The white-stone church was erected here almost 800 years ago by the grandson of Yuri Dolgoruky - Prince Svyatoslav Vsevolodovich. According to historians, St. George's Cathedral is the last church (it was founded in 1230), which was built in Rus before the Tatar-Mongol invasion.

Today, despite at its considerable age, St. George's Cathedral in St. George's-Polish preserved quite well . The only thing that can not be fully appreciated today is his unique carving . In the 15th century the temple suddenly began to collapse, while the walls made from carved stone . The best architects from Moscow were sent to restore the St. George's Cathedral . They saved the temple from destruction, but apparently made inaccuracies in the work, and the cathedral turned out to be two times lower than it was . Besides this, the concept of carving on walls .

Now the biblical stories and images of saints can be seen only partially. "Read" the surviving religious scenes can only art. Ordinary tourists, it seems, can only examine, trying to solve the puzzles of the legacy that has survived.

Inside St. George's Cathedral, as in the museum: the carved stones of the temple and other structures of the same time remained intact during the restoration. Here is the surviving shrine - the so-called Svyatoslav cross. For a visit to St George's Cathedral, tourists are charged a small admission fee.
