In close proximity is the Church of St. John on the Opoka.

It is a column-free, one-apse building of the type “octagon on a quadrangle” with a sub-church. Topped with a small cupola. The facades are treated with paddles, pilasters, completed with eaves. Windows with arched and semi-circular finishes, most of the windows are decorated with rich platbands.

History The first mention of the wooden church of St. George refers to the year 1356. The wooden building was replaced by a stone one, built by the inhabitants of Lubyanitsy (Lubyantsi), a street that once passed through Torg (city market). The church burned down several times and was rebuilt again. In 1615, the church building had two chapels - from the southern and northern sides. In 1747, the upper arches collapsed. In the years 1750-1754 was again restored.

View from the intersection of Bolshaya Moskovskaya and Ilyina Street In the post-revolutionary Novgorod, the Church of St. George on the Marketplace, along with the Church of Ilya on Slavna, remained active longer than others.

During World War II was damaged slightly. During the restoration work that began in 1952, all the extensions and the well-preserved church bell tower were dismantled. Archaeological studies of 1973-1976 revealed the remains of early wooden extensions. The photographs of 1944 show that the church has preserved vaults, but there is no drum and dome, which were probably destroyed before the war.

In the late Soviet period, a gift shop was located in the church. Currently - an exhibition of historical photography of Novgorod.
