Vank Church

Experience Faith, History Unveiled at Bingöl's Majestic Vank Church

Vank Church

The Vank Church (Vank Kilisesi), located on a high hill in the Vank hamlet, is thought to be at least 300 years old. The entrance (west) facade is covered with fine cut stone. The most prominent part of the church is the numerous cross signs engraved in different shapes and sizes on the stones on its door and on its ornate pediment. Two garlands with lion mouths were placed on the roof of the church, which is flat and covered with soil, so that the water that accumulates on the roof of the church can drain off, and this situation has given the church an architectural structure with a local character.
