Armenian Apostolic Church of St. Gregory the Illuminator

Why go

The church makes the scale of the Armenian community's contribution visible: a small group raised much of the funding for a permanent place of worship. Notice how broad verandahs and louvred windows adapt the building to Singapore's heat and rain, then look for the memorials in its grounds.

What to look for

• Broad verandahs shade the walls and windows.
• Timber louvres were designed to admit air while softening the light.
• Garden memorials recall the Armenian community.

Useful to know

• Allow time for the church grounds as well as the building; the separate Armenian Heritage Gallery requires an appointment.
