Surp Hovhannes Church of Artashat, Armenian church in Artashat, Armenia.
Surp Hovhannes Church is a church building in Artashat featuring traditional Armenian architectural elements such as arched doorways, stone carvings, and a central dome. The entire structure was built from locally quarried tuff stone, a volcanic material commonly found in the region.
Construction of the church began in the early 2000s under architect Artak Ghulyan's design. The building was officially opened on October 2, 2002.
The church serves as a gathering place where the Armenian Apostolic community celebrates worship and religious ceremonies throughout the year. It remains an active center for people to practice their faith and share important spiritual moments together.
The church is easily accessible and welcomes visitors interested in Armenian religious architecture while maintaining regular worship services. It is best to visit during normal hours to fully appreciate the interior design and any ongoing activities.
The tuff stone used throughout the building comes from local quarries and continues a building tradition that Armenia has practiced for thousands of years. This choice of material directly connects the modern church structure to ancient construction techniques of the region.
