Its story
The Surp Krikor Lusavoriç Church is dedicated to St. Gregory, considered the Illuminator of the Armenians. The first record of the building dates from 1191; the present building was rebuilt in 1859 and repaired in 1885. Only the remains of the Gümüşyan School, founded beside it in 1865, are left. Restored again in 1996, the church is the last church in Kayseri open for worship. Its domed stone structure is an important witness to the city's once multicultural fabric.
