Visit essentials
A quick read before you go
- Etiquette
- Wear modest clothing, silence devices, and give worshippers space.
Overview
The diocesan history dates the present foundation to 1805–1806 and documents later rebuilding. A June 2026 diocesan notice records Divine Liturgy at this exact church.
Why this place is sacred
The building has undergone successive repairs, so dates should describe documented phases rather than imply that every visible element survives from the foundation.
Experience and orientation
Conditions at the threshold take precedence over this profile; closed doors, services, conservation barriers, and resident privacy must be honored.

Plan your visit
Confirm current opening and service access with the Armenian Diocese; the map point identifies the church, not permission to enter during every gathering.
Respectful visit
Wear modest clothing, silence devices, and give worshippers space. Ask before photographing interiors, clergy, ritual objects, or people, and never interrupt a service.
