Mshkavank, Cultural heritage monastery in Koghb, Armenia
The Mshkavank monastery stands on a high forest plateau, three kilometers south of Koghb village, featuring characteristic Armenian architectural elements in stone construction.
The religious complex emerged during the transition between the 18th and 19th centuries, marking a period of architectural development in the northeastern region of Armenia.
The monastery forms part of a network of religious structures in the Koghb area, including the St. Nshan Church and multiple ancient burial grounds.
The site requires a 4-kilometer hike through forest paths, necessitating sturdy footwear and sufficient water supplies for the journey to the elevated location.
The monastery grounds connect to the ancient Halinjakar Fortress and Zithank Fortress, creating a historical circuit spanning multiple millennia of Armenian heritage.
