Vahanavank

The Armenian historian Stepanos Orbelian (c. 1250 – 1305) wrote that the prince had taken on a monk's robe and lifestyle to cure himself of demonic possession.

In the year 911, Prince Vahan gathered 100 like-minded clerics and built the church of Surb Grigor Lusavorich.

The cornices of the vestibule are decorated with vegetal and animal ornamental motives which border the southern and northern walls.

In 1086, Queen Shahandukht II of Syunik and her sister Katan built the church of Surb Astvatsatsin as a burial site for her and her relatives.
