Armenian Church is one of the historically significant architectural monument in Dhaka  megacity. The church was  erected in 1781 by Armenian Orthodox communities. Every time thousands of excursionists travel this  literal place to know the actuality of a significant Armenian community in the region between the 17th and 18th centuries.  

History of Armenian Church

Following the domination of their  motherland by Persian powers of the time, Armenians were  transferred by their new autocrats to the Bengal region for both political and  profitable reasons. In spite of the fact that the Armenian presence in South Asia is now insignificant, their presence in Dhaka dates back to the 17th century. Armenians came to Dhaka for business. In Dhaka, Armenian  merchandisers traded in jute and leather, and profitability in these businesses  induced some to move permanently to Bangladesh. The area where they lived came given as Armanitola.   In 1781 the now- notorious Armenian Church was  erected on Armenian road in Armanitola,  also a thriving business  quarter. The  point was an Armenian graveyard before the church was  erected, and the  monuments that have survived serve as a chronicle of Armenian life in the area. Agaminus Catachik, an Armenian, gave away the land to  make the church. Michel Cerkess, Okotavata Setoor Sevorg, Aga Amnius, and Merkers Poges helped  make the church.   In the fifty times following the church's construction, a  timepiece  palace was erected on its western side. Allegedly, the  timepiece could be heard four  long hauls down, and people  attend their watches with the sound of the  palace's bell. The  timepiece stopped in 1880, and an earthquake destroyed the  palace in 1897. The Armenians played a prominent part in the jute trade in Dhaka and are reputed to be the  settlers of that trade in the alternate half of the 19th century. moment, the last Armenian that takes care of the church is Mikel Housep Martirossian( Michael Joseph Martin). He was also one of the Armenians who were jute traders.
