Encyclopedic overview
Haghpat Monastery, also known as Haghpatavank (Armenian: Հաղպատավանք), is a medieval Armenian monastery complex in Haghpat, in Armenia's Lori Province. The monastery was constructed between the tenth and thirteenth centuries and was founded by queen Khosrovanuysh, the wife of king Ashot III of Bagratid dynasty. Following its construction, it was developed into a hub for education, culture, and spirituality in medieval Armenia. It is acknowledged as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its exceptional depiction of Armenian religious architecture, along with its neighboring Sanahin Monastery.
