St. Astvatsatsin Church is situated on the top of Nork district. The church was destroyed by the disastrous earthquake of 1679. At the beginning of the XX century the church was restored by the donation of Ter-Avetikyan. As a result of the soviet policy of persecuting religion, the church was destroyed in 1930s’, yet numerous pilgrims from other parts of Armenia continued to visit the ruins of the church on feasts days of the Blessed Virgin. After independence, at the end of the XX century and beginning of the XXI, the church was rebuilt once again, thanks to Armenak Armenakyan.
