The Heart of the Armenian Community

Our history is
more than dates.

It lives in the prayers heard here. In the hands that look after the church. In the generations who return to their roots.

Built in 1610 and renovated after a fire in 1832, the Armenian Church in Ruse continues to be a spiritual home and a guardian of cultural memory.
