The Likhauri Church is a Georgian Orthodox Church at the Ozurgeti Municipality in the Guria region, Georgia. It was built in the 12th century.
The Likhauri church was built in 1352 by the Kajaberi dynasty of Guria. The church is located in the center of the town of Likhauri. Near the church there is an independent bell tower that, like the church, is made of carved stone. On one of the walls of the bell tower there is an inscription in Georgian language. On the eastern wall of the church there is a window richly decorated with Georgian ornaments, and on the western wall is a portal. The south facade was restored with stone and bricks. The rehabilitation works were carried out by the patronage of Gorje IV Gurieli and Queen Khvaremze.[1]
In 2010, a reinforced concrete wall was built on the territory of the Likhauri church to protect the monument in a natural event.[2]
