Odzun Church

Nestled high in the hills of Northern Armenia up pops the reddish 5th century stoned monastery.
It has undergone a few reconstruction/restorative work and it has beautiful arches and frescos litter the inside walls. This monastery was a replacement on our tour but I wasn't disappointed in this basilica-style church. It is believed that one of the apostles buried a piece of the swaddling cloth here. The monastery was not busy and there is a small supermarket and street sellers outside. It was so peaceful here.

Just a small detoure from a main road to Alaverdi from Dilijan. Worth doing. Gorgeous views to the valley. Amazing church with a rich history. Once you are there continue some 3 km to Surb Nshar with a fantastic view to the valley and to Horomayr church.

Beautiful place! It has lovely architecture and stunning history. Easy to acess and really worth a detour from the main road.

A beautiful 4-6th century church with a majestic view. It has a huge territory where village kids play and branches under apricot tree shadow.

Church's priest Ter Ararat was very kind to show us the church and tell it's story.

The church has a beautiful setting. There was a baptism taking place whilst we were visiting, so we had a glimpse of local culture.

The priest was a lovely guy who told us the story of the church very briefly.

Trinity Sb. Astvatsatsin is a one of a kind hidden gem in Lori

Odzun church located in the Lori province of Armenia.

6th Century Armenian church with great surroundings.

great and mystery place, must see

Beautiful place and very old church. I like that the church's attendant is glad when people come on the yard. Children come to play volleyball, walk around the church and spent time like Jesus said: "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Amazing place and church

this place have a story about fighting with snakes.

One of the greatest churches in Armenia!
One of the reasons that I adore this is that I was baptized here.
The church is beautiful. It has an impressive colonnade, a memorial.
The priest of this church is nice. His family is great!
It is very easy to get to this village. You can also check Horomayri which is very close to the village of Odzun.

6-7 century amazing monastery.

Amazing history. Beautiful church. Wonderful location.

Ancient church with bas-reliefs from the 4th century. Friendly priest will guide you and show everything. Definitely worth to travel there. On the back yard is the toilet. In front of church entrance - cafe.

Very nice historic church. As the place is hard to reach by big buses the place is hardly included in tourist programes. Well worth seeing if you are traveling on your own.
