Holy Mother of God Cathedral (), also known as Surb Astvatsamor Hovanu Cathedral, is a church of the Armenian Apostolic Church, located in the city of Stepanakert, Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan. A 4-meter statue of King Vachagan III was planned to be placed on a 2-meter pedestal near the church. The church â under construction for 12 years â was consecrated on 7 April 2019.
The cathedral became a bomb shelter during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, with civilians taking refuge in the basement of the cathedral from Azerbaijan's bombardment of Stepanakert.
The last liturgy was served in the cathedral on 1 October 2023 after the majority of the Armenian population had fled the city and Azerbaijan had taken control.
