Goshavank


Goshavank is a 12-13th century Armenian monastery located in the village of  Gosh in the Tavush Province of Armenia. Today the monastery is not a functioning religious complex, although it remains a popular tourist destination and has recently undergone some light restoration. The impressive monastery which has remained in relatively good condition also houses one of the world's finest examples of a khachkar. Goshavank  had been destroyed by 1188 in the result of an earthquake.
The complex was later renamed Goshavank and the village was named Gosh in his honor.
