Yerits Mankants Monastery, Armenian monastery in Martakert Province, Azerbaijan.
The Yerits Mankants Monastery rises on a forested mountain slope near the Trghi River, featuring white stone walls and multiple khachkars around its perimeter.
Construction of the monastery began in 1691 under Shah Suleiman I, funded by Catholicos Simeon and his brother Ignatios to create an alternative to Gandzasar monastery.
The monastery includes a three-nave vaulted basilica church with a central dome supported by four square cruciform pillars and connecting arches.
The monastery complex contains living quarters equipped with fireplaces, windows, and storage areas that supported daily activities of the monastic community.
During the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in 1992, the monastery provided shelter to approximately 2,000 local residents fleeing from nearby conflicts.
