Armenian Monuments of Constanțsa

The old Armenian Church of the Holy Mother of God in Constanțsa (the administrative centre of the county of the same name in Romania) was built in 1879-1880, but it burned down in 1940. The current Church of St. Mariam (Mary) the Mother of God operates in the building of the Armenian school constructed in 1880. The hall of its first floor was allocated to the church in 1940. After the closure of the school in 1948, the entire building came under the management of the church. It was renovated in 1990-1991 and 1998-2002 (architect: Dan Rusova), and a bell tower was built next to the entrance.
Residential buildings constructed by wealthy Armenians have also been preserved in the city. Among them is the “House with Lions” (Str. Dianei 1), built between 1898-1902 on the initiative of the Armenian businessman and magnate Tigran Emirzyan (architect: Ion Berindei).
