Surb Harutyun Church

S. Harutyun Church is constructed of mudbrick and has red brick detailing around its windows and doors. There are two entrances to the interior, one from the south, and one from the west. Also of interest, is the turquoise painted brick archways around the portals. The church's altar is designed to resemble the façade of a church. Resting in a niche at the altar, is a gilded painting of the Virgin Mary holding a baby Jesus.
