The Gorian Rotunda, or as it is also called - the Church of St. Anne, is located in the picturesque area of ​​Transcarpathia - Uzhgorod. It is located on one of the majestic hills of the micro district Goryany, not far from the ruins of an aristocratic palace of the Middle Ages. The history of the appearance of the rotunda and its age is still unknown.

This is evidenced by materials used in the construction of the church. According to its architectural data, it has no analogues throughout Ukraine. The most similar to it are only two in the world and they are located on the territory of Hungary.
