Jukhtak Monastery, Medieval monastery in Dilijan National Park, Armenia.

The monastery contains two principal stone churches situated in a forest clearing, with St. Grigor church exhibiting a cruciform design and collapsed dome.

Built between the 11th and 12th centuries, the monastery includes St. Grigor Church and St. Astvatsatsin Church, which bears an inscription from 1201.

The monastery represents Armenian medieval architecture with its traditional stone construction, cruciform layout, and decorative khachkar stone carvings throughout the site.

Located 3.2 kilometers northwest of Dilijan, the monastery requires a 10-minute walk from the parking area due to current landslide conditions.

Metal reinforcements installed between 1973 and 1977 support the foundation of St. Grigor Church, which rests upon naturally soft stone.
