Armenian Apostolic Church of St. Gregory the Illuminator

Colloquially known as the Armenian church, it’s eclipsed by the more famous St. Andrew’s Cathedral and Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus Chapel nearby (thanks in part to Crazy Rich Asians). However, the Armenian Church has a rich history, being the oldest church in Singapore. Built in 1835, the church served the Armenian community well into the 1930’s until the last parish priest left due to a dwindling Armenian population in Singapore. The church subsequently fell into disrepair, and was abandoned religiously. However, in 2016 a new pastor was appointed, and the church received a grant from the Singapore government for restoration, which is now complete.
