The Metropolitan Church of Saint George in the center of Goumenissa built in 1864 and in the five years of its construction, until 1869, the inhabitants of the city contributed financially and with their personal work. It is an impressive church, one of the grandest in Central Macedonia, built on the model of Saint Minas in Thessaloniki and the Patriarchal Church of Saint George in Constantinople.

Until the liberation of the city, in 1912, it played an important spiritual and supportive role in the life of Christians in the area and until 1991 it was a parish church, when it was converted into a Metropolis and classified as a monument.
