St. Thaddeus the Apostle Church in Ddmashen, located in Gegharkunik Province, Armenia, is a 7th-century monument of Armenian architecture dedicated to Saint Thaddeus the Apostle. Considered by some to rank as the fourth most significant example of its architectural style after the Cathedral of Talin, Ptghavank, and Aruchavank, the church has remained largely unchanged since its construction, with one notable exception: following earthquake damage, the drum was replaced in 1907 with a sixteen-sided structure executed in a different architectural style from the original. A large cemetery featuring mostly unmarked gravestones extends south of the church.
