Srvegh Monastery, Medieval monastery in Aygehovit, Armenia
Srvegh Monastery is a 13th-century monastic complex in Aygehovit built with brick and andesite stone. The main church contains a vaulted hall with ascending proportions and a pointed hood design that creates a distinctive silhouette.
The monastery was founded in the 13th century in the area known as Khachi Tak. Over time it underwent various uses and changes, with modern restoration efforts now focused on preserving the original structure.
The cemetery beside the complex shows how Armenian communities honored their dead through carved stones and burial traditions. Walking through this space reveals practices that have remained important to local people for centuries.
The site is located about 3 kilometers northwest of Aygehovit village in a remote setting. Access is possible on foot but requires sturdy shoes and time to walk through uneven terrain.
The name Srvegh comes from the pointed hood of the vault, which sets this site apart from other religious buildings in the region. This particular roof form is uncommon among Armenian churches and makes the monastery instantly recognizable.
