It is situated at an attractive point at a promontory overlooking the gorge and offers a fine view to the three churches of Tsiranavor, Spitakavor, and Karmravor.

Saint Sarkis Church has a small cruciform central-plan supposedly built in the 19th century on an old foundation.

A single drum and umbrella type dome rest on top of the church.

Four small windows are located around the drum and upon the walls directly below at each of the four sides of the church.

The interior stone has not been changed, yet the exterior façades have had extensive restoration work done recently.
