Located 2 kilometers from Kurbinovo in Resen Municipality, the Church of St. George is a 12th-century Macedonian Orthodox church built in 1191 by the Byzantines. Constructed in Byzantine architectural style, the church stands as a surviving testament to the medieval settlement that once occupied the site before being abandoned at the end of the 18th century. Its frescoes have provided crucial evidence for dating the building. Protected as a monument of culture under North Macedonian law and designated a Tentative World Heritage Site, the church remains part of the Prespa–Pelagonia diocese of the Macedonian Orthodox Church.
