A brief history
A thirteenth-century Armenian Apostolic church in the village of Haftvan, in Salmas County. It was renovated in 1652 and again after the Salmas earthquake of 1930, which levelled much of this district. A half-ruined auditorium built in the early twentieth century stands nearby.

Google Maps files this one as a Catholic cathedral. The source says Armenian Apostolic, and this guide follows the source — the Persian name on the listing uses Surp, the Armenian word for saint.
