[1] The Holy Mother of God Church is a small cruciform central-plan interior with a rectangular but almost square plan exterior and a second floor.

A small inset portal sits in the middle of the front façade, with the remnants of exterior stone steps that once led to the second floor.

Notable is the large cross carved in high relief on the front flanked by the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus and another saint.

Above the larger window on the right façade is a motif of a large bird with a geometric rosette on its chest holding a hooved animal in its talons.

In contrast to Noravank, the second floor of St. Astvatsatsin church of Yeghvard was not climbed by stone stairs, but by movable wooden ones.
