Description: One of some pictures showing a church and buildings belonging to its complex. The church was dedicated to the saints Petrus and Paul. It functioned as a Syriac Orthodox Church until 1924 when, according to a notice on site, the Syrian population moved to Aleppo and the building lost its function. As it later was used as space by the board of excise and customs, with a word (reji) borrowed from the French, “regie” it was called the Regie Church (without being a church). In 2019 I found it being used as a cultural centre with frequent performances and meetings in its “multi-purpose room”, the former church, as well as in buildings belonging to the complex.
