There is no construction date for the medieval church but the cemetery contains cross-stones (khachkars) dated to the 12th-16th centuries. More than 20 engrave cross stones, or khachkars, have been documented in the surrounding graveyard.

Between October and July, satellite imagery shows extensive new earthmoving and road construction activity immediately to the northeast of the church and its adjacent cemetery.
