Saint George Church of Garnahovit

церковь Гарнаовит · Գառնահովիտի եկեղեցի

Saint George Church sits at the center of Garnahovit, a village in Shirak province, and dates to the 7th century. It's built in the Armenian Apostolic tradition and is listed among the historical and cultural immovable monuments of Garnahovit.

The church's scale sets it apart from the houses around it — locally it's described as dominating the village and the landscape it sits in. Beyond that, records on the building are sparse.

Garnahovit is a village in Shirak province, roughly 59 km northwest of Yerevan as the crow flies. The church stands centrally within the village itself.
