The architects of the church were Sahak Hizanetsi (died in 1666) and his student Murad. In the Middle Ages the church was rather popular due to the relics of one of the most popular Christian saints, the relics of Saint Gevorg being preserved there. The Church of Mughni was first mentioned in the notes of two manuscripts copied in 1278s and 1280s. Interestingly, close to the relics there is the eternal flame where only those who bear the name Gevorg are allowed to enter and pour oil on the fire.
