The church was actually built in 1918. According to the building inscription, the church was built in 1818 in the place of the former Gharabaghtsots wooden church (in bottom eastern part of fort-town, existed in the second half of 18c). In the walls is placed the former church' inscription. The dome of the ramparted churchy and its chapel are seen from very far. the latters have architectural innovations.

The church has a cruciform scheme. In course of placing side-chapels under the alter rising, the eastern facade of the church and the chapel joining to it from west stand out with unique interior decoration, thanks to which this monument isolated among the analogous architectural constructions. Over the entry, crowned with chapel’s dome is carved the inscription, "Babayan Stepanos Hovanes. In the memory of the deceased brother Mkrtich. 1847".
