Srvegh Monastery
Srvegh stands in the forest near Aygehovit at a place known as Khachi Tak, “beneath the cross.” Its principal church, Surb Nshan or Holy Sign, is a thirteenth-century domed hall by the architect Khachatur. The monastery is distinguished by its brick architecture.
An inscribed cross-stone stands on the altar platform of Surb Nshan, with other stones set into both faces of the east wall. In 1889 villagers led by Father Hovhannes built a single-nave Church of the Holy Mother of God to the north. Its west wall incorporates a much earlier thirteenth-century cross-stone.
