Architec­ture

Armenian ele­ments have been added to the Albanian temp­le, and it is presented as an Armenian temp­le.

It is located 24 km southeast of the district center, on the bank of the Milli branch of the Azad river310. 3 km outside the village of Bayburt, on the river valley (200 m away), sparse fruit trees were planted around the old temple building. An ancient Albanian temple with a height of 5-6 meters was preserved in the middle of the village. The lower part of the building was underground. During the Soviet rule, it was used as a grain warehouse.

The toponym was formed on the basis of the Bayburt ethno­nym from the Oghuz lineage. One of the Gi­zil­bash tribes was called Bay­burdlu.
