Ruins of the Armenian Church of St. Nicholas

Ukraine, Kamianets-Podilskyi
The ruins of the once majestic temple are located in the city of Kamyanets-Podilskyi, on the site where Armenians settled in the 14th century. Initially, they built a wooden church here, which was rebuilt in stone at the end of the 15th century. Half a century later, a bell tower with loopholes and observation towers was added. As a result of the Turkish occupation, the cathedral was destroyed and rebuilt in the 18th century. Subsequently, the church, made in the Byzantine style, became a Catholic church, which was blown up in the 1930s. Only the bell tower has survived to this day, which today houses a small chapel.
