History[edit]

Saint Gregory the Illuminator Church was built in 1633 by Khoja Minas. There are many khachkars in the church, some of which date back to 1641, 1643 and 1646. The church has a summer or outdoor chapel built in 1714, by Khoja Minas grandson. There are some tombstones in the courtyard, two of which are related to the founder of the church and the killings by Afghans in 1722. [1]
