Дерев'яна церква Св. Юра - один із найяскравіших творів галицької народної архітектури. Входить до списку Світової спадщини ЮНЕСКО в категорії "Дерев'яні церкви Карпатського регіону України". Належить до кінця XV - початку XVI ст. Привезена до Дрогобича з прикарпатського с. Надєєво в 1656 р. і встановлена на місці згорілої попередниці. В 1678 році побудована дзвіниця. Інтер'єр розписаний чудовими фресками С. Медицького, зберігся старовинний різьблений іконостас. Церква кілька разів ремонтувалась, але не втратила свого первісного вигляду. Наразі тут розміщено частину експозиції історико-краєзнавчого музею. Інша частина експозиції знаходиться у сусідньому дерев'яному храмі Воздвиження Чесного Хреста (1613 р.)
