St. Sarkis Church, Armenian church building in Feodosia, Ukraine.

St. Sarkis Church is a medieval Armenian stone church located in Feodosiia, in Crimea. It has thick walls, a steep roof, and stone surfaces decorated with carved geometric motifs that make it stand out among the surrounding buildings.

The church was built in 1363, during a period when Armenian communities were well established on the Crimean Peninsula. For centuries it served as a religious center for Armenians living along the Black Sea coast.

The name of the church honors Saint Sarkis, a central figure in Armenian religious tradition. Inside, visitors can see khachkars, carved cross-stones with geometric patterns made by Armenian craftspeople during the medieval period.

The church sits in the center of Feodosiia and can be reached on foot from the main streets of the city. Since the building is sometimes closed without notice, it is worth checking with local tourism offices before visiting.

The painter Ivan Aivazovsky, born in Feodosiia and known for his sea paintings, was baptized in this church. This personal connection shows how deeply the Armenian community was part of daily life in the city during the 19th century.
