The paper will argue that due to the weakness of the feudal system, the building of a church in a highland village of Korogo in X-XI cc. was tied to the patronage of a local community members, who are depicted in bas-reliefs of the church together with a co-patron – a Bishop of the eparchy. The Korogo church is erected on a mountain slope in Khada Gorge, East Georgia. The church dates to the turn of the 10th century to the 11th century. The west façade’s cornice is lavishly adorned with bas-reliefs showing masons and workers doing their jobs. Apart from them, a bishop is depicted twice: once preaching, the second – presenting a church model to Our Lady of Sign. One of the main conclusions reached in the study is that the Kororgo Church was constructed jointly by ktetorship of the bishop and local community members. It was in joint ownership of the community. This fact suggests weakness of the feudal system and lack of the influence of feudal lords on Mtiuleti highland in the 10th-11th cc. Paleographical analysis of the inscription found on the north side of the west façade of the Korogo Church was performed and a new date – turn of the 10th century to the 11th century, instead of the 12th century, has been suggested.
