Surb Grigori Bardzrakash Monastery, Medieval monastery complex in Lori Province, Armenia.

The monastery consists of two churches, a vestibule, and a chapel positioned above the Marts river, surrounded by the Tavut forest.

The religious complex was established in the tenth century with the construction of a one-nave hall church made from rough-hewn basalt stones.

The monastery grounds contain numerous khachkars, traditional Armenian memorial stones carved with crosses, and the ancestral cemetery of the Mamikonyan family.

The monastery site requires a journey on foot through rural landscapes between Dsegh village and Tumanyan town in northern Armenia.

The World Monuments Fund included this monastery on their 2014 Watch list to protect it from natural forces and support conservation efforts.
