Church of St. Nerses the Great

The Church of St. Nerses the Great stands at latitude 39.791944 and longitude 47.112778, featuring traditional Armenian architectural elements in its construction.

The religious structure was consecrated in 2004 as part of the Diocese of Artsakh, named after St. Nerses I who made substantial contributions to Armenian Christianity.

The church building holds religious significance within the Armenian Apostolic tradition, reflecting the historical Armenian presence in the Khojavend District.

Located in the town formerly known as Martuni, the church building remains closed since 2023 following regional administrative changes in the Nagorno-Karabakh area.

The structure represents one of the newer Armenian religious buildings in Azerbaijan, constructed during a period of ecclesiastical renewal in the early 21st century.
