Tipped to be the oldest Christian religious institution in the Lion City the Armenian Church of Singapore is an iconic cultural landmark that has stood the test of time. Built in 1835 this exquisite architectural gem remains the epicentre of the country's Christian faith and a fitting tribute to the Armenian settlers and their contribution to the country's cultural identity.

Renowned as one of Singapore's oldest religious edifices the Armenian Church holds the distinguished honour of being the country's first Christian institution of worship. Housed within an imposing structure designed by none other than George D. Coleman, a prominent Irish architect of the era, the Armenian Church remains a relevant place of worship for the faithful as it has for over a century. Often described as a must-visit point of interest for religiously inclined tourists exploring the Lion City the Armenian Church also serves as an iconic fixture in Singapore's cultural landscape and a stunning reminder of its spiritual identity and legacy.

Conveniently located in shady Hill Street within the country's Museum Planning Area the Armenian Church occupies a strategic position in the Lion City's CBD. Established as a consecrated place of worship devoted to St Gregory the Illuminator who is the foremost patriarch in the Church of Armenia the structure which marked its 175th Anniversary in 2011 was honoured as a national monument in Singapore decades earlier, in 1973.

Showcasing traditional Armenian church style architectural leanings the venue is perhaps best known for its neo classical cupolas and high ceilings. The artistic rendering of the Last Supper image of Christ and his disciples at the main alter is another key feature of the church's interiors while Doric pillars dominate the outward facade of the locale. Held up by balustrades Singapore's Armenian Church also houses porticos that are typical of Roman Doric style structures and feature Tuscan and Doric inspired porches capped with triangular pediments in the building's southern, northern and western quarters. An elaborately crafted apse arches across the eastern entrance of the church with the year of the venue's establishment etched on its face.

The Memorial Garden at the locale is another highlight as it serves as a last resting place for Armenian settlers in Singapore. The two floor structure nearby is of course the church's parsonage which is an architectural marvel in its own eight as it was built to house the parish's chief priest as far back as 1905.The building now occupies the offices of the church's administrative department.
