Holy Cross Church

Holy Cross Church in Nerkin Charbakh is a church building in Armenian architectural style featuring a central dome and sacristies positioned on both sides of the nave. The structure combines traditional Armenian building elements into a compact religious composition.

Construction of this church began in 1996 under architect Hrach Gasparyan's direction and was completed in October 2006. The project fulfilled a local need for a dedicated religious center in the Nerkin Charbakh neighborhood.

The church displays works by Armenian painter Vardges Soureniants, whose art reflects the region's traditional religious painting practice. Visitors can experience this living artistic tradition as the community continues to gather here for worship and spiritual reflection.

This church is situated in a residential neighborhood and is best reached on foot if you are in the area. Visitors should know that regular services take place here and it is respectful to attend these or visit outside of service times.

This was the first religious building specifically built for the growing neighborhood of Nerkin Charbakh when it was established. This origin as a community initiative gives the church particular importance for local residents.
