History

The church was founded in the 12th or 13th century. [3] It was rebuilt in the second half of the 16th century. [2]

Architecture

St. Grigor was a basilica-style church consisting of a nave and two aisles, a pentagonal apse, and two vestries, with doorways on the western and southern facades. There were Armenian inscriptions in the interior and on the southern and western facades. As of 1979 part of the roof had collapsed and there were cracks in the walls.

Destruction

The church was still extant in the late Soviet period (the 1980s). However, it has been destroyed in the period between August 30, 2001, and July 15, 2011, as documented by Caucasus Heritage Watch. [1]
