According to Makar Barkhudaryants, the community of the village actively contributed to the construction of the church, with residents joining forces to complete the construction up to the stage of vault construction.
Architectural-compositional examination
It is a single-nave vaulted hall with a rectangular layout, boasting external dimensions measuring 15.2 x 8.3 meters and standing at a height of 8 meters. Constructed using local rough stones and lime mortar, meticulous attention to detail is evident in the incorporation of polished limestone for key architectural elements such as the entrance frames, windows, cornerstones, and arches. Supporting the vault are three wall arches positioned along both the north and south sides, alongside a pair of wall pillars and arches. Externally, the church showcases a gable roof (Fig. 3).
Originally, the roof of the church was adorned with tiles, although it was subsequently replaced with asbestos. Positioned at the eastern end is a semi-circular tabernacle accompanied by an elevated platform (Fig. 4). Within the central section of the tabernacle lies a small window, expanding outwardly and featuring a cross-like design. Additionally, rectangular niches are incorporated into the side walls of the tabernacle, serving as storage spaces for religious artifacts.
Positioned on the northern wall within its customary location and framed by an arched frame, a rectangular alcove houses the baptismal font (Fig. 5).
The sole entrance to the church is situated on the southern facade. Illumination is provided through seven windows dispersed across the western, southern, and eastern facades.
