Its story
The building, also known as the Surp Asdvadzadzin Church, is in the Dağeteği (Germuş) neighborhood at the foot of Germuş Dağı (Mount Germuş), about 10 km northeast of Şanlıurfa. As it has no inscription, its construction date is not known for certain, but it is estimated to have been built in the early 19th century; it was repaired in 1881 by Hagop Ardvisyan. At the entrance of the two-story stone building, three pointed arches rising along the facade stand out. Although it has partly lost its originality through alterations made in different periods, it dominates the village skyline. As it is about 5 km from Göbeklitepe, the two visits can be combined.
