St. Hovhannes Church (Tumbul)

St. Hovhannes Church was an Armenian church located in village of Tumbul of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan.

[1] The church was located in the center of the village.

[2][3] In 1868, a bilingual Armenian and Russian school was opened in the church.

[1] The church had already been a target of destruction in the late Soviet period; the western, northern, and southern walls of the church were completely razed to the ground, but the two-storied bell tower was still standing.

[2][3] By March 12, 2005, whatever was remaining from the church had been razed and the vacant plot walled off for reuse as a garden.
