About
The Church of the Archangels or Taxiarchs' Church (Turkish: Taksiyarhis Kilisesi) is a historically significant Greek Orthodox church, dating back to 1873 and located in Cunda Island of the Ayvalık district in Turkey—an area formerly inhabited primarily by Greeks. Following the massacres of local Greeks during the Greek genocide and the Pontic Greek genocide between 1914 and 1923, and the subsequent expulsion of the survivors, the building nowadays houses one of the Rahmi M. Koç museums.
