Likhni Church “Aba-Ata” (Georgian: ლიხნის ეკლესია აბა-ათა, Abkhaz: Лыхнытәи ауахәама Абаҭаа) is a church in the village of Lykhny, Gudauta Municipality, Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia, Georgia.

The church was built in the High Middle Ages. The church walls are in a heavy physical condition and need an urgent conservation. The church was awarded the category of a real cultural monument of national importance on November 7, 2006, by a decree of the President of Georgia.

  1. The political status of Abkhazia is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Georgia in 1992, Abkhazia is formally recognised as an independent state by 5 UN member states (two other states previously recognised it but then withdrew their recognition), while the remainder of the international community recognizes it as de jure Georgian territory. Georgia continues to claim the area as its own territory, designating it as Russian-occupied territory.
