    YEREVAN, 12 JUNE, ARMENPRESS: The chapel at Overjarva court yard will
    be Stockholm's 192nd historic building.

    As reports Armenpress citing The Union of Armenian Associations in
    Sweden,no one knows for sure who built the chapel. But perhaps it was
    the Armenian Ohan Demirgian, a diplomat who created a lot of attention
    in Stockholm's social life since arrived to Sweden in the 1860s to
    submit some Barbary horses as a gift to King Charles XV from Egypt's
    monarch. Demirgan received Overjarva court yard as a summer place and
    held lavish parties there. The chapel has been used as a conservatory,
    chapel, Armenian chapel and an artist's studio, according to Dagens
    Nyheter. Union of Armenian Associations in Sweden welcomes the news.

    "Armenians have for years expressed interest in the building and it
    has at some occasion used for holding an Armenian church service in
    the chapel. We hope it will remain as an important symbolic building
    of an interesting era in the Swedish cultural heritage" writes The
    Union of Armenian Associations in Sweden in a statement.
