The Chapel of the Resurrection of the Savior

The Chapel of the Resurrection of the Savior is an Armenian Apostolic place of worship and an architectural monument of national importance, listed in the Register of Historical and Cultural Monuments of Chișinău. Since 2025, it has also been a historical, artistic, and architectural monument of national importance included in the Register of State-Protected Monuments of the Republic of Moldova, together with the cemetery.

It is the chapel of the Armenian-Gregorian cemetery, built in 1916 by architect A. Hacikeanț. It is also a memorial building, with the tomb of B. Bogdasarov located under its western wing.

Modest in size, the chapel is decorated with decorative plastic elements that reduce its volume. The plan is cruciform, obtained by widening the square nave with narrow side projections. Through the side projections, a polygonal apse and a small porch to the west were added. The entire appearance of the building refers to the places of worship from the heyday of ecclesiastical architecture in the 12th-13th centuries in historical Armenia.

The Armenian cemetery contains funerary monuments dating from the 18th to 20th centuries, belonging to eminent historical figures.
