Bgheno-Noravank

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not to be confused with Noravank Monastery, Bgheno-Noravank Monastery is a complex much further south in Syunik Marz, Armenia, which now consists of a small church dating to 1062, located on a little wooded promontory, and ornately decorated with borders and biblical reliefs. The ruins of this church were rediscovered in the 1920s by Axel Bakunts, a well-known prose writer, during one of his wanderings as an agronomist.
