Itinerary

  • German Church

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The Lutheran church in Asureti, built in the mid-19th century by German settlers, was the spiritual and social center of the village, originally known as Elisabethal. Featuring traditional German architecture with a simple yet elegant design, the church served as a place for worship, community gatherings, and cultural preservation. After the forced deportation of the German population during World War II, the church was abandoned and fell into disrepair. Today, the ruins of the church stand as a poignant reminder of the once-thriving German community and their lasting legacy in the region.
  • Elisabethtal cemetery

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The German cemetery in Asureti, established by the village's early 19th-century German settlers, is a significant historical site. It features traditional German gravestones with inscriptions in German, reflecting the cultural and religious heritage of the community. Although the cemetery fell into neglect after the deportation of the German population during World War II, it remains a poignant reminder of the village's past. Efforts to preserve the cemetery have made it an important site for understanding the legacy of the German settlers in the region.
  • Sulfur bath

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The German sulfur bath in Asureti, originally built by the village's German settlers in the 19th century, is a historic site that showcases their influence on the region. Known for its therapeutic properties, the bath was a popular spot for both health and relaxation. Constructed with traditional German craftsmanship, the bathhouse reflects the settlers' architectural style and attention to detail. Though it may no longer be in use, the sulfur bath remains an intriguing part of Asureti's cultural heritage, highlighting the blend of German and Georgian traditions in the village.
