Helenendorf — founded in 1819 by settlers from Swabia due to religious claims, about 700 families were resettled from Germany to Transcaucasia. Later, in 1857, it was decided to build the first Lutheran church in the region, so 3 years later the Kirche succesfully was erected and was named the Church of St. John.
The inhabitants were successfully engaged in agriculture and set up a wine factory, which became popular not only in the district but also outside the country. Subsequently, most of the inhabitants left the region due to the beginning of the Second World War.
The church was closed after the deportation of the Germans from the region in 1941. At different times, the building served as a sports hall and a military hospital. In 2008, the St. John’s Church was renovated with the financial support of the German GIZ
