Nowadays, the Armenian church in Constanța operates in a building constructed in 1880 that has functioned as school for the Armenian community’s children. The old wooden construction was destroyed by fire.
Initially, Armenians had a church in the old cemetery until 1760 when it was disbanded. In 1879 was laid the foundation of a new church dedicated to Saint Mary and consecrated in 1880 by Nazaret Torosian but which burned down in 1940. Since then, the Armenians in Constanța use as place of worship the former Armenian school building, arranged in a proper manner. The first floor is set up as a prayer hall and at the ground floor are the offices and the parish hall. Due to the lack of students the school was closed in 1948 and the church took over the entire building.
Given the fact that the Armenian church in Constanța was settled in a former school, its architecture is different from the one of traditional places of worship. The typical Armenian belfry was added to the rectangular basilica in 1990 according to the project of the architect Dan Rusovan. Inside the church the walls are not painted, but covered with large icons. The place of worship was renovated between 1990 – 1991 and 1998 – 2002, when improvements were made to the interior, roof and exterior daub. Inside the church the architectonical changes led to the execution of large arcades and an open altar lacking an iconostasis.
