SOURB ASTVATZATZIN (HOLY VIRGIN) CHURCH
When the villagers moved to a new place of living in the 1860s, they faced the necessity of building a new church there. They did so in 1875, but the sanctuary was consecrated only 9 years later, on 26 July 1884: “The church of this village was erected in 1875, but it was blessed on the 26th...1”
In the early 1890s, New Voskepar is mentioned as having a church named Sourb Astvatzatzin and covered with a wooden roof2. It stopped functioning after the Village Council had taken possession of it in 19293.
Later the dilapidated church building was totally levelled to the ground.
