Armenian Church

Built for Armenian traders in 1712, the Armenian Church, also known as the Church of the Holy Virgin Mary, stands as one of the oldest churches in India. Located in Chennai, this historical site no longer serves as a place of worship but is meticulously maintained as a cultural and historical attraction. Visitors can explore the church’s well-preserved architecture and learn about the significant role it played in the lives of the Armenian community that once thrived in the region. The church continues to be funded by the Armenian Apostolic Church, ensuring its legacy endures for future generations.
