A large Armenian church stood at the edge of town. At my first visit it was in need of restoration, in 2012 it had been restored. I still could not enter but again took some pictures of details on the outside.

I was informed by a viewer, whom I thank: "According to the Armenian inscription on the dedication stone, this Church was built in 1881 by the Armenian community of Sivrihisar (Yozgat Province). It was dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The architect was M.Panayot of Sivrihisar. The church was built during the term of Armenian Patriarch Nerses (Constantinople) " and "The small building leaning against the church is called "Hokedoun" some kind of a mortuary, where the deceased was placed before the last rights and burial. In the old days, there were no funeral homes as we know it today."
