Saint Jacob Armenian-Apostolic Church, Armenian religious temple in Troinex, Geneva, Switzerland
The Saint Jacob Armenian-Apostolic Church displays a stone facade made of tuff volcanic rock and features a 16-sided tower with a light grey cross.
The construction of the church began in 1967 under Catholicos Vazken I and cost 2.6 million Swiss francs, funded by Hagop Topalian and the local Armenian community.
The church maintains Armenian religious traditions by conducting liturgies in Old Armenian and using organs during services, distinguishing it from other Orthodox denominations.
Located at 64 Route de Troinex, the church welcomes both Armenian congregation members and non-Armenian visitors for prayer sessions and religious celebrations.
The architectural design takes inspiration from the sixth-century Saint Haripsime church in Echmiadzin and includes a memorial dedicated to Armenian genocide victims.
