Saint Sargis church, Armenian church in Argavand, Armenia

Saint Sargis Church is a grey-tuff building on a rectangular plan at the crossroads in the centre of Argavand. Its two rows of square columns divide the prayer hall into three naves; the middle one ends in a semicircular apse, the side ones in vaulted rectangular chambers. Pilasters carry a two-slope wooden-truss roof, and there are two entrances, from the north and the west.

An inscription above the north entrance records that the church was built with donations from believing Armenians and completed on 19 August 1897, then consecrated by Archbishop Ter Nerses. The abbreviation "Khut" in the inscription suggests he was also called Khutetsi. In 1997 the church was renovated, and villagers funded and built the bell tower. During the Soviet period it served as a chapel.

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.

The bell tower was built in 1997, not 1998, funded by the villagers' own money and labour. The church itself was completed on 19 August 1897, as an inscription above the north entrance records, and was consecrated by Archbishop Ter Nerses.
