Mor Ephrem Syriac Orthodox Church

About Mor Ephrem Syriac Orthodox Church

Mor Ephrem Syriac Orthodox Church is a Syriac Orthodox church in Yeşilköy, within Istanbul’s Bakırköy district on the European side of the city. The church was opened on 8 October 2023, after its foundation ceremony in 2019. It is dedicated to Ephrem the Syrian, a prominent theologian, writer and hymnographer of Syriac Christianity. The building is recorded as a two-storey church on a 700-square-metre site, with three basement levels. Its opening addressed the worship needs of Istanbul’s Syriac Orthodox community and marked the establishment of a new Syriac church in the Republican period. The church’s location places it near Yeşilköy’s urban neighbourhood and transport area, close to Istanbul Aviation Museum and Yeşilköy railway station. The Metropolitanate’s own listing identifies the church as Mor Efrem Kilisesi and provides its contact details. Visitors should contact the church before arriving to confirm worship times and visitor access, since no reliable seven-day public visiting schedule was found in the checked sources.
