Geocache Description:


[TUR] Germiyan Kilisesi, 1868 yılında Patrikhane tarafından civarda yaşayan rumlar için yaptırılmıştır. Değirmenköy’ün eski adı Germiyan idi. Kilise ismini buradan almıştır ve yapımına II.Abdülhamit yardım etmiştir. Dikdörtgen planlı, bazilikal plan tipindeki kilise Mübadele (1923-1924) ile Rumların gitmesinden sonra Cami ve Okul olarak kullanılmıştır. Köy yerleşiminin daha güneye kaymasıyla atıl kalmıştır.

[ENG] Germiyan Church was constructed by the Patriarchate's Orthodox Christians in 1868, for the greek people who were living in this area. The former name of Değirmenköy village was Germiyan. The church was named after the village and the Ottoman Sultan Abdülhamit II contribuited to the construction. After the population exchange (1923-1924) between Turkey and Greece, it was used as a mosque and a school. When the village was moved to south, the building became inactive.
