Surp Yerrortutyun Armenian Church
Sivrihisar, Eskişehir
A three-aisled basilica rebuilt in 1881, referred to as one of the large Armenian churches of Anatolia.
Its story
The first building of the Surp Yerrortutyun Church, whose name means Holy Trinity, goes back to the 17th century; after a fire in 1876 it was rebuilt in 1881 by the architect Mintes Panoyat. The building, with a three-aisled basilica plan, dominates the Sivrihisar skyline at the foot of the rocky hills. The Armenian inscription above the ornate west entrance can still be seen; most of the frescoes and decoration inside, however, have been lost. Without a congregation since the early 20th century, the church had a restoration begun in 2010. As access to the interior may change, get information before visiting.
