★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A small beautiful church in the midst of highscrapers of Singapore. The church has tried it's best to showcase it's history. A few old tombs of the oldest members which way backs to 18th century can be seen on premises.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A little piece of history, piety and culture in the middle of the city. When I visited this place, there wasn't much people, so it was very serene and quiet all around the church and garden.
I just hope they would maximize this place, not just as a historical site, but also as a church and cultural center.
I wonder if, aside from weddings, Eastern Rite liturgies are still celebrated here?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Armenian Church of Saint Gregory the Illuminator, referred to locally as the Armenian Church, is the oldest Christian church in located at Hill Street which was built in 1835.
Nestled on the tranquil grounds of the Church is the Memorial Garden is a collection of unique tombstones marking the life of Armenians who made a significant contribution to Singapore. Early Armenian settlers were buried in the old Fort Canning cemetery.
A site definitely worth visiting if you are visiting Singapore.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Armenian Apostolic Church is a very prominent church that has a very long history.
It's included as one of the buildings to display the lightings in the month of August 2021 for the celebration of Singapore's National Day. I love the Singapore flag being shown high up there.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The oldest church in Singapore and the centre of a historic Armenian diasporic community in colonial Singapore. Easily accessible by public transit, the church is an oasis of calm and tranquility in bustling Singapore. Worth a visit, whether to admire the historic architecture and tombstones/memorials, or just come in for prayer and a short respite from the hustle and bustle of life.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Singapore's oldest church and among our very smallest. Dating back to the 1830's, this often overlooked incredible building is a historical landmark in its' own right.
Very well-maintained despite the Church's age and history. I really enjoyed the older photos contained within the informative displays, also including some pictures, located inside of the Church.
Outside in the garden, the array of various tombstones and variety of prominent figures buried here was fascinating to learn about from the small, insightful and well-placed stands doted around the area. Thank you for maintaining this important relic so well!
