Description
1830 y․

In the 1830s, the people of Metz Aragyal erected a stone church resting on three pairs of columns and having a wooden roof. The sanctuary (exterior dimensions: 13.61 x 9.15 metres), which is named Sourb Khach (Holy Cross), is built of undressed stone, with the exception of its northern wall, which is entirely laid with finely-finished blocks. Its southern facade bears traces of repairs.
