The oldest building in Horodenka — the church of an Armenian community that no longer exists.

Armenians in Horodenka are documented from the 1670s, and their masonry church kept defensive features — thick walls and buttresses, onto which Baroque decoration was later laid. The main body was finished around 1706, the side chapels and the choir were added in 1743–1760. Under Soviet rule the church was used as a warehouse, and the community itself left for Poland in 1945. Today the building is closed, the windows are barred, and the walls and roof are gradually falling apart; there is no restoration as of 2026.

There is no getting inside, the church is viewed only from the outside; nearby in the centre is the Church of the Immaculate Conception.
