This church is thought to date from the late 10th century and to have been commissioned by Prince Grigor Pahlavuni as a private chapel for the Pahlavuni family. This family rose to great importance during the final years of Ani's independence. The most famous member was Vahram Pahlavuni. Vahram is mentioned in an inscription telling that he set aside money to pay for masses for the soul of his son Abughamir. (Location: Kars)
