In the Valley of Roses, we find the ruined Catholic cemetery chapel: Polish and Armenian, built in 1912. In the west wing, we encounter a memorial building – the tomb of the Polish Oganowici family.
Of modest proportions, the chapel is designed in an eclectic style, inspired by the Gothic style. The plan consists of a nave with a small altar apse, polygonal in shape, with the corners supported by stepped buttresses. The appearance of the building is reminiscent of the small-scale places of worship from the flourishing period of Gothic architecture in the 12th-13th centuries in Eastern Europe, including Poland and Galicia, from where the Polish and Armenian Catholics migrated to Bessarabia…
Construction of the chapel began in 1913, commemorating the burial place of Joseph Kaetanovich Oganovich, who passed away on 14 January 1909.
The construction was completed in 1922 by G.A. Demzhanovich.
Unfortunately, today, the chapel is in an advanced state of decay…
