Taybeh is a small village about 12 km northeast of Ramallah and is the only entirely Christian town remaining in the West Bank. It is home to significant historic and religious landmarks including the hilltop ruins of a castle and the ancient St. George Church, all testament to a rich Christian heritage surviving for centuries.

Modern Taybeh is known for its bold spirit of enterprise, including Taybeh Brewery, the first Palestinian microbrewery which over time expanded into winemaking as well. The brewery has become a symbol of cultural resilience and pride.

Every fall, a festivity modelled on Oktoberfest draws locals and visitors alike to share in music, food, and a taste of Palestinian-made beer. 

But today Taybeh is under serious threat. In 2025, the village has faced repeated attacks by illegal Israeli settlers, including fires set near homes and on sacred sites, property destruction, and attempts to seize agricultural lands. Residents and leaders warn that this is designed to displace Palestine’s Christian minority and erase their historic presence from the land.
