Cathedral of Jrvej, Armenian Apostolic church in Jrvezh, Armenia

The Cathedral of Jrvej, also called Surp Astvatsatsin, is an Armenian Apostolic church in Jrvezh, Kotayk Province. The present building was erected in 1891 on the site of an earlier church destroyed by the 1679 earthquake. A bell tower was added in 2005 and the central dome in 2011. It is listed as a protected cultural monument.

The original church of Jrvezh was destroyed by the 1679 earthquake. In 1891 the villagers built a new church on the ruined site; it was reopened in 1991. A bell tower was added in 2005 and the central dome in 2011.

The church is also known as Surb Katoghike, and the village holds it on the list of Jrvezh's immovable monuments of history and culture. Next to it works the Khrimyan Hayrik spiritual and cultural education centre, which runs the Jrvezh Sunday school and the youth union.

The church stands in Jrvezh village in Kotayk Province, listed among the village's immovable monuments of history and culture. The bell tower added in 2005 and the central dome completed in 2011 are the most recent parts of the building. The Khrimyan Hayrik spiritual and cultural education centre adjoins the church, housing the village Sunday school and youth union.

The church is listed in the inventory of immovable monuments of history and culture of Jrvezh. Its bell tower was added in 2005 and the central dome in 2011, so most of what a visitor sees above the 1891 walls dates from the last two decades.
