Kaymakli Manastiri Trabzon

Kaymakli Manastiri was an Armenian monastery. It is on the terrain of a farm house at the fringe of the city. The roof being gone it is open to the elements, a pity because there are some good frescoes inside, and the stonework is fine. The monastery was in use until WW I. Two chapels remain, one – dating from 1424 – houses the frescoes, the other is used to store hay.

This is a new edit of a 1993 slide, after I made fresh scans in 2018.

Is it still open to visitors? I intend to be there in a couple of weeks.

The Armenian church- Kaymaklý- in Trabzon has a new roof which means it is under protection against nature.
