worth seeing. It's a small church. There is a pretty long history of Armenians in Dhaka. It used to be a cemetery I believe. There are gravestones all over the grounds.

It is a small church, but probably the oldest in Bangladesh. It has a beautiful bell-tower. This was the center for the small effluent Armenian community at the turn of the 19th century. Mr. Martin the curator, is one of the few Armenians left in Dhaka. He was very pleasant and welcoming.

A nice and relaxing place in old Dhaka. As I heard this church has only two services annually in Easter and in Christmas. Recommended!

Loved the location - mainly because it was so peaceful having been around Old Dhaka all day. Grave stone to someone who died aged 108!
