Description
1870 y․

St. Sargis Church represents a stone building of a wooden roof and four pairs of wooden pillars (exterior dimensions: 19.68 x 12 metres). It was erected in the early 1870s in the site of an older sanctuary which dated from the 1830s, but was in a state of decrepitude. The western pediment of the church is surmounted by a belfry of six columns. Apart from the western facade of the church, which is entirely finely-finished, its other parts are built of undressed stone and mortar. Inwardly, the walls of the monument bear inscribed cross-stones (15th to 16th centuries) which are extremely weathered so that only two of their inscriptions are intelligible in some parts.
