Church or chapel
Värska orthodox church
Värska has had an Orthodox congregation since at least 1759, worshipping in a wooden church north of today's. The present church of St George was built beside it in 1904–1907 with money collected by local people, and the old wooden church was then pulled down; a small cross-topped turret marks where its altar stood. Consecrated on 2 July 1907, it keeps its original look. The church sits at the south-west edge of the walled Värska cemetery, approached through a three-arched brick gateway and along a cobbled path, and it faces north-east rather than east, probably because of the lie of the land.

Värskas on õigeusu kogudus olnud vähemalt 1759. aastast ja see kasutas praegusest põhja pool asunud puukirikut. Praegune Georgiuse kirik ehitati selle kõrvale aastatel 1904–1907 rahva kogutud raha eest ja vana puukirik lammutati; selle altari kohta tähistab ristiga tornike. 2. juulil 1907 pühitsetud kirik on säilitanud ehitusaegse ilme. See asub maakiviaiaga piiratud Värska kalmistu edelaservas, kuhu viib kolmekaareline telliskivivärav ja munakivitee, ning on loodusliku asukoha tõttu ilmselt kirde-edelasuunaline, mitte ida-läänesuunaline.
