Church of the Holy Mother of God, Bolshiye Saly

The Church of the Holy Mother of God displays neoclassical architecture with three exedras instead of traditional porticoes on its northern, southern, and eastern facades.

Local Armenian believers initiated the construction of this brick church in 1860, which was completed and consecrated by Catholicos George IV in 1867.

The church holds regular services for the Armenian community and maintains religious traditions through ceremonies, prayers, and annual celebrations throughout the year.

Located at coordinates 47.3925°N, 39.69139°E, the church welcomes visitors daily and provides religious services according to the Armenian Apostolic calendar.

A memorial cross stands on the church grounds since 2011, commemorating clergy members who suffered during Soviet-era suppressions of religious institutions.
