Srvegh Monastery, Medieval monastery in Aygehovit, Armenia

Srvegh Monastery is a partly ruined medieval complex on a wooded slope at Khachi Tak, 3 km southwest of Aygehovit. Its main church, Surb Nshan, is a domed hall: the lower walls, about one metre high, are dark pink andesite, while the upper walls and dome are fired brick. It is round inside and twelve-sided outside, with a pointed dome. The complex also holds the ruined 1889 Surb Astvatsatsin church, monks' cells, an oil press and wall traces.

Built in the 13th century, the monastery served as the religious centre of Kaen, a historic district of Georgia. An inscription of 1152 on the Church of the Holy Sign names the architect Sargis and the builder Hovhannes; a second inscription above the baptismal font records work in 1252 by Artavazd and Sargis under master Hovhannes. The Church of the Mother of God was added north of the main church in 1889 by Aygehovit villagers led by priest Ter Hovhannes. The complex is now being restored.

The monastery's name comes from folk etymology: the pointed hood (srvagh) of the dome resembles a conical hat. The site was the spiritual centre of Kayen, a historical Georgian district, and some Georgian circles consider it a Georgian monument, a claim historian Samvel Karapetyan calls a distortion of the Armenian medieval heritage.

The monastery lies 3 km southwest of Aygehovit, at a spot called Khachi Tak, on a high slope above a forested clearing. The complex is under restoration, so some structures may be closed off or covered in scaffolding. The terrain is uneven and the approach is on foot.

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.
