Surp Asdvadzadzin Armenian Church

After the previous church was destroyed in 1759, the structure was rebuilt once again in wood in the early 19th century.
In 1838, the present church was rebuilt as a magnificent masonry building.
In 1987, the structure was extensively renewed.
In 1993, busts of Garabed and Sarkis Balyan were placed in the courtyard.
After the thorough repair completed in 2013, the church was reopened for worship.

The church belongs to the Armenian Patriarchate of Turkey.
In a record dated 1623, it was mentioned as a chapel in Beşiktaş with two priests; testimony was also conveyed regarding the existence of a small church in the area during the period covering the years 1661 and 1681–1684.
According to the 18th-century historian Sarkis Tıbir Sarraf-Hovhannesyan, the church was destroyed in 1759.
It was conveyed that the destroyed church had been built through the donations of Yakup Amira of Eğin; it was destroyed on the grounds that it had been enlarged without permission.
It was described as one of the rare examples equipped with an inner dome not visible from the outside during the period when domed structures were prohibited.
It was stated that the dome and wall decorations reflect the Western style; the interior walls were decorated with large symmetrical paintings.
It was recorded that the grave of Harutyun (Artin) Pasha Dadyan (1830–1901) is located on the outer side of the southern wall of the church.
It was conveyed that the Makruhyan school was built next to the church.
