Bgheno-Noravank

The monastery stands on a triangular promontory surrounded by wooded gorges, with external dimensions measuring 9.5 meters in length and width.

Constructed in 1001 and officially opened in 1062, the monastery remained undiscovered until writer Axel Bakunts found its ruins in 1932.

The monastery exhibits traditional Armenian architectural elements, featuring a main entrance framed by five large stones decorated with detailed carvings.

Located three kilometers east of Bardzravan village, the monastery can be accessed via the road that leads toward Shurnukh in the Syunik province.

The interior space of the church creates an unexpected sense of openness through its design, contrasting with its compact exterior structure.
