Saint Sargis church, Armenian church in Argavand, Armenia
Saint Sargis Church is an Armenian sanctuary built with stone walls, arched windows, and a central dome that reflects regional construction techniques. The structure displays characteristic features of Armenian architecture including carefully dressed stone and geometric proportions.
The church was built in the 12th century and represents the architectural achievements of medieval Armenia. It was constructed during a period of religious and cultural flourishing in the region.
This church serves as a gathering place for the Armenian community during religious observances following the Armenian Apostolic Church calendar. The annual celebration of Saint Sarkis in February draws visitors who come to honor the patron saint of warriors.
The church is located in Argavand and accessible through local roads. The site requires careful attention when visiting certain areas of the structure due to its condition.
A bell tower added in 1998 combines modern engineering with traditional Armenian architectural elements. This later addition shows how the building continues to evolve while respecting its historical character.
