Number 60/116 Armenian Street Near High Court Parry's Corner George Town Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600 001
Description
Reconstructed in 1772 on the Armenian cemetery, this church has become popular as it houses a stunning bell tower (also known as belfry) that contains 6 bells. With a massive weight of 150 kilograms per bell, the bells are huge in size ranging from 21 to 26 inches. At 9:30 am every Sunday, all six bells are rung together by the caretaker. Initially, people used to come here for praying but now this place is preserved as a heritage site. Managed by the The Armenian Church Committee in Kolkata, almost 350 Armenian (group of merchants in Madras Presidency) graves are laid here.
