The main church of Saint Grigor, was built in 903 by Prince Shapuh Bagratuni and his sister Mariam, siblings of King Smbat I.

Saint Grigor was renovated and restored by King Gagik I of the Bagratid dynasty in the late 10th century.

Saint Grigor's drum is octagonal from the interior and exterior with an inscription on the latter that dates the church.

The drums of both churches have an identical decorative molded band, leading to the belief that they were contemporaneous with one another.

Headed east up the side of the ravine behind the monastery not too far away is a large but now broken khachkar monument.
