Church of the Ascension (Chaltyr)

The Church of the Ascension (Russian: Церковь Святого Вознесения, Armenian: Սուրբ Համբարձում Եկեղեցի) is an Armenian Apostolic church in Chaltyr village, Myasnikovsky District, Rostov Oblast, Russia.

The Church in the name of the Holy Ascension in Chaltyr village was founded in 1790 by Armenians who resettled in Don from Crimea on the decree of Empress Catherine II issued on November 14, 1779.

12 new pedestals with saints' faces were built and three new doors with multi-colored stained-glass windows were installed.

The inscription on the pedestal khachkar says that it was installed in memory of the Turkish Genocide of Armenians in 1915.

The high four-tier bell tower is similar to those of St. John the Baptist Church in the village of Nesvetay, and its side premises were constructed in the form of small rooms with exedra.
