Goshavank

Monastery complex Goshavank is situated on the edge of Canyon of Aghstev within thick forests. In the place of the monastery there was a small chapel Getik. Later famous Armenian writer Mkhitar Gosh built this Monastery complex. The complex consists of two main churches: St Gregoty and St Astvatsatsin, gavit, book repository, and the ruins of an old school. There were found many manuscripts here and most of them are preserved in the museum of Manuscripts in Yerevan. A little far from the monastery you can see a small chapel where Mkhitar Gosh is buried. Goshavank does not have outer walls, and is surrounded by village homes. All of the buildings are attached to each other except for S. Hripsime Chapel, which is located on the opposite hillside and within view.
