Исторический очерк

Церковь была построена в 18-ом веке, а затем отремонтирована в 19-ом веке. Сведения о селе и церкви до нас дошли из труда Макара Бархударянца «Арцах», где среди прочих подробностей отмечается: «Поселок Харав. Он был основан на возвышенности правой стороны долины, на северной стороне горного хребта, жители коренные, почва малоурожайная, умеренный воздух и климат, вода отменная, долгая жизнь 85 лет, церковь Сурб Месроп, каменная, священник один» (Бархударянц 1895, 109).

Архитектурно-композиционный анализ

Церковь представляет собой прямоугольный в плане однонефный сводчатый зал, построенный из местных груботесаных камней на известковом растворе. Чистотесаные камнями облицованы только камни углов, полуколонны, обрамления окон и дверей. Свод опирается на пару полуколонн южной и северной  стороны и псевдоарки. Снаружи перекрыта двускатной крышей.

На восточной стороне находится полукруглая абсида, параллельно которой расположены две ризницы (рис. 2). В нише северной стены церкви, в традиционном месте, сохранилась крестильная купель (рис. 3). В центральной части абсиды, непосредственно под окном, и на южной стене есть маленькие ниши, предназначенные для хранения ритуальных предметов.

Рис. 3 Крестильная купель, фото А. Григоряна, 2022 г.

Единственный вход - с юга, смещенный от центра к западному углу (рис. 4). Он построен двухсекционной системой тесаных квадров и резных пилястров, характерной и для сельских церквей 18-19-ых веков. Церковь освещалась тремя окнами с востока, двумя с юга и одним с западного фасада (рис. 5, 6). Южные окна в первозданном виде не сохранились: в советские годы они были разрушены и расширены, а церковь использовалась в хозяйственных целях. Двускатная крыша церкви до ремонта имела более крутые скаты.

Состояние до, во время и после войны

Церковь не действует, черепица не сохранилась. В советские годы черепичное покрытие храма было заменено асбестовыми листами, которое, однако, в настоящее время находится сильно повреждено. Именно поэтому на крыше выросли деревья, она покрылась растительностью. До войны 2020-го года и во время войны церковь не пострадала.

Historical overview

Surb Astvatsatsin Church was constructed in the nineteenth century. Part of the construction date was left unfinished in the construction inscription engraved on the lintel (Fig. 2). The inscription is divided into two parts and says: "The Armenian Church of the Surb Astvatsatsin was built with the financial means of Baghtasar Shamkhaleantsi and his sons Sargs and Hovhannes, Pirajamal villagers. For the souls of all the deceased. May God have mercy on all of us. Amen.

Surb Asvatsatsin Church in the Armenian village of Pirajamal was also built with financial means by a Shushi citizen/Holy Land pilgrim Shahkalti Harutyuneants, in memory/and for the salvation of his late son Mirza's soul and his parents, and was completed in the year....”.

Makar Barkhudaryants' work "Artsakh" contains information about the village and the church, which includes the following details:

The village of Pir-Chamal was established on the eastern slope of a mountain. Its inhabitants are native to the area, with some having moved from Jraberd, and a few from Old Keatuk and Belukan. The land in Pir-Chamal is fragile and arid, but fertile and has a lot of gardens. The air, climate, and water are remarkable. The village church is named Surb Astvatsatsin and is a stone-built structure constructed by financial means of the pilgrim of the holy land, pious, Shahkealdi from Shushi, and the late Baghdasar Shamkhalian of Pir-Chamal. There is one priest serving in the church. The village has 146 households, with 475 males and 357 females (Barkhutareants 1895, 128).

There are four 17th-century khachkars in the upper part of the church's eastern facade (Figs. 3, 4). One inscription bears the date "(1671)", and two others read "Cross of Khanzat", and "Cross of Pirhamzi".

Architectural-compositional examination

It is a rectangular single-nave vaulted hall (17x9.8 meters) made of local gray sandstone, limestone, and reinforced lime mortar. Only the corner and arch stones have been polished. The vault is supported by a pair of wall pillars and wall arches rising from the north and south (Fig. 5) and is covered with a gable roof externally.

Fig. 5 The interior of the church from the west, photo by A. Grigoryan, 2021.

The only entrance is from the south (Fig. 6). It was illuminated by three small windows on the eastern wall, as well as one large window on each of the northern and southern facades, the northern of which was demolished and enlarged during the Soviet period (Fig. 7, 8).

Fig. 8 The northern facade, photo by A. Grigoryan, 2021.

The stage of the Tabernacle has been demolished, and the church has been repurposed for commercial use. The sacristies run parallel to its semicircular tabernacle. In an alcove near the northern sacristy, there is a baptismal font. The church is decorated modestly, with the main decorations being cross-stones from the 17th and 18th centuries, porch pillars, baptismal basin cross-sculptures, and pillars (Figs. 9, 10). A bell tower-rotunda used to be on the church's roof, slightly to the west of the center, but now only a circular hole with a regular arrangement remains (Fig. 11).

The condition before, during, and after the war

A layer of soil flowed from the inclined slope and covered the western wall of the church, as well as parts of the southern and northern walls. The roof tiles were not preserved. It was replaced by a metal sheet cover during the Soviet era, which was also not preserved.

In general, the structure is in disrepair. The walls have cracks in them. There are several cracks, particularly on the eastern wall (Figs. 12, 13). There are collapses on the burial's western and eastern edges. The church is not currently functioning. During the 2020 war, it was not damaged.

Bibliography

Barkhutareants 1895 - Barkhutareants M., Artsakh, Baku.

Location The Surb Astvatsatsin Church is situated on the southwestern outskirts of the village of Vardadzor in the Askeran region of the Republic of Artsakh, within the village’s old neighborhood (Fig. 1). Historical overview Surb Astvatsatsin Church was constructed in the nineteenth century. Part of the construction date was left unfinished in the construction inscription engraved on the lintel (Fig. 2). The inscription is divided into two parts and says: “The Armenian Church of the Surb Astvatsatsin was built with the financial means of Baghtasar Shamkhaleantsi and his sons Sargs and Hovhannes, Pirajamal villagers. For the souls of all the deceased. May God have mercy on all of us. Amen. Surb Asvatsatsin Church in the Armenian village of Pirajamal was also built with financial means by a Shushi citizen/Holy Land pilgrim Shahkalti Harutyuneants, in memory/and for the salvation of his late son Mirza’s soul and his parents, and was completed in the year….”. Makar Barkhudaryants’ work “Artsakh” contains information about the village and the church, which includes the following details: The village of Pir-Chamal was established on the eastern slope of a mountain. Its inhabitants are native to the area, with some having moved from Jraberd, and a few from Old Keatuk and Belukan. The land in Pir-Chamal is fragile and arid, but fertile and has a lot of gardens. The air, climate, and water are remarkable. The village church is named Surb Astvatsatsin and is a stone-built structure constructed by financial means of the pilgrim of the holy land, pious, Shahkealdi from Shushi, and the late Baghdasar Shamkhalian of Pir-Chamal. There is one priest serving in the church. The village has 146 households, with 475 males and 357 females (Barkhutareants 1895, 128). There are four 17th-century khachkars in the upper part of the church’s eastern facade (Figs. 3, 4). One inscription bears the date “(1671)”, and two others read “Cross of Khanzat”, and “Cross of Pirhamzi”.

Исторический обзор

Церковь Сурб Аствацацин была построена в 19-ом веке. В строительной надписи, оставленной на тимпане над входом, часть с датой осталась незавершенной (рис. 2). Надпись, состоящая из двух частей, гласит следующее: «Сея армянская церковь Сурб Аствацацин села Пираджамал была построена на средства Багдасара Шамхалеанца и его сыновей Саргиса и Ованнеса для всех усопших. И скажут да помилует Бог».

«Сея церковь Сурб Аствацацин армянского селе Пираджамал была построена на средства горожанина Шуши, паломника во Святую землю Шахкалти Арутюнянцем во спасение души его рано ушедшего сына Мирзы и его родителей, почивших во Христе...».

Сведения о селе и церкви получены из труда Макара Бархударянца «Арцах», где среди прочих подробностей упоминается: «Село Пир-Чамал, основано на восточном склоне одноименной горы, жители коренные, часть переселилась из Джраберда, некоторые - из Старого Кятука и Белукана, земля хрупкая, засушливая, но благодатная и плодородная, покрытая садами, воздух, климат и вода отменные. Продолжительность жизни высокая, 100, церковь – Сурб Аствацацин, построенная из камня и извести на средства благочестивого горожанина Шуши, паломника Шахкеалди и покойным Багдасаром Шамхаляном из Пир-Чамала. Священник один. Дымов - 146, мужчин – 475, женщин - 357» (Бархутареанц 1895, 128).

Архитектурно-композиционное описание

Церковь представляет собой однонефный сводчатый зал (17х9,8 м) в плане прямоугольной формы, построенный из местного темного песчаника и известняка на известковом растворе. Только угловые и арочные камни являются чистотесанными. Свод опирается на пару полуколонн и псевдоарок, возвышающихся с севера и юга (рис. 5), а снаружи перекрыт двускатной крышей.

Единственный вход с юга (рис. 6). Зал освещался благодаря трем небольших окнам на восточной стене, а также двум большим окнам на северном и южном фасадах, из которых северное в советские годы было разрушено и расширено (рис. 7, 8).

Рис. 8 Северный фасад, фото А. Григоряна, 2021 г.

Алтарная часть также была снесена, а церковь использовалась в хозяйственных целях. Параллельно полукруглой абсиде расположены ризницы. В нише возле северной ризницы находится купель. Церковь имеет скромное убранство, главным украшением которого являются дарственные хачкары 17-18-ых веков, полуколонны портала, крестовые скульптуры, вырезанные на купели и полуколоннах (рис. 9, 10). На крыше церкви, немного западнее центра, находилась колокольня-ротонда, от которой сохранилось только круглое отверстие с правильной кладкой (рис. 11).

Состояние до, во время и после войны

Западная стена церкви, а также частично западные части южной и северной стен были покрыты слоем почвы, стекавшей со склона. Черепица на крыше не сохранилась. В советские годы ее заменили перекрытием из металлического листа, который также не сохранился. В целом сооружение находится в полуразрушенном состоянии. На стенах есть трещины, особенно на восточной (рис. 12, 13). На западном крае и в восточной части свода имеются обрушения. Церковь не действует. Во время войны 2020-го года она не пострадала.

Литература

Бархударянц 1895 – Бархударянц М., Арцах, «Арор», Баку (на арм.яз.).

Локализация Церковь Сурб Аствацацин находится на юго-западной оконечности села Вардадзор Аскеранского района Республики Арцах, в старом квартале (рис. 1). Исторический обзор Церковь Сурб Аствацацин была построена в 19-ом веке. В строительной надписи, оставленной на тимпане над входом, часть с датой осталась незавершенной (рис. 2). Надпись, состоящая из двух частей, гласит следующее: «Сея армянская церковь Сурб Аствацацин села Пираджамал была построена на средства Багдасара Шамхалеанца и его сыновей Саргиса и Ованнеса для всех усопших. И скажут да помилует Бог». «Сея церковь Сурб Аствацацин армянского селе Пираджамал была построена на средства горожанина Шуши, паломника во Святую землю Шахкалти Арутюнянцем во спасение души его рано ушедшего сына Мирзы и его родителей, почивших во Христе…». Сведения о селе и церкви получены из труда Макара Бархударянца «Арцах», где среди прочих подробностей упоминается: «Село Пир-Чамал, основано на восточном склоне одноименной горы, жители коренные, часть переселилась из Джраберда, некоторые – из Старого Кятука и Белукана, земля хрупкая, засушливая, но благодатная и плодородная, покрытая садами, воздух, климат и вода отменные. Продолжительность жизни высокая, 100, церковь – Сурб Аствацацин, построенная из камня и извести на средства благочестивого горожанина Шуши, паломника Шахкеалди и покойным Багдасаром Шамхаляном из Пир-Чамала. Священник один. Дымов – 146, мужчин – 475, женщин – 357» (Бархутареанц 1895, 128). В верхней части восточного фасада церкви встроено четыре хачкара 17-го века (рис. 3, 4). Надпись на одном из них имеет год «1130-ый (1671) год», на двух прочитываются надписи «Сей крест Ханзата», «Сей крест Пирхамзи».
