Surb Hovhannes Church of Voskevaz

The Surb Hovhannes Church features a basilica design with a cruciform central plan and rectangular exterior walls made of local stone.

Documentation from 1841 confirms the existence of this religious structure, although architectural evidence suggests its construction dates back to earlier centuries.

The church maintains regular Armenian Apostolic services and ceremonies, following traditional religious customs that define the spiritual life of Voskevaz village.

Located at coordinates 40.2758° N and 44.2972° E, the church underwent renovation works in 2009 to stabilize its remaining structural elements.

The original dome and drum of the church collapsed over time, leaving a modified structure that displays the evolution of Armenian religious architecture.
