Armenian Church, Gheorgheni, Armenian Catholic church in Gheorgheni, Romania.
The baroque church features ornate stone walls with windows depicting scenes from the Passion of Christ, created around 1750 along its perimeter.
Armenian settlers first arrived in Gheorgheni during the 17th century and initially conducted religious services in rented private homes until building this church in 1733.
The northern altar contains a significant 1752 painting from Venice's Mekhitarist monastery showing Saint Gregory the Illuminator converting Armenians to Christianity.
Located at 1 Biserica Armeană Street, the church underwent extensive restoration work in 2003, including the cataloging of its archive and book collection.
The church interior displays four matching altars and a pulpit from the 1750s, with ceiling frescoes depicting the Church Fathers and biblical scenes.
