The Vazgenashen Church is located 1km north-west of Vazgenashen/Hajisamly village in the Lachin district. The church dates to the 15-17th centuries. There are two cross-stones (khachkars) dating to the same period at the site. April 2023 imagery shows that the same roadwork that has damaged portions of LN.177-0 (Cemetery near Vazgenashen) also threatens the remains of the church with a new road cut just 25m to the south.
