Mažići, Church of St. George (Orehovica) Place The Church of St. George is situated in the village of Mažići, near Priboj, on the left side of the river Lim. It was probably first built prior or around the time of the Serbian Grand Župan Stefan Nemanja (reigned 1166/68-1196) in the 12th century on an old ritual place. The monastery is first mentioned in the 13th century in the Studenica Typicon. The church was ruined probably in the middle of the 13th century and was renewed at the time of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (reigned 1282-1321), according to his biographer the Serbian Archbishop Danilo II (ca. 1270/75-1337) (Danilo 138). It is a single nave edifice with a dome and a narthex, which was added later. The building was destroyed in the 17th century and again, the entire complex, was renewed in the 20th century.
