Harichavank Monastery

Churches and Monasteries Harich

A monastery near Artik with decorated churches and a striking chapel perched on rock above a gorge.

About This Place

Harichavank Monastery stands beside Harich village near Artik. Its buildings reflect several stages of Armenian medieval architecture, with early origins and major development in the thirteenth century. Decorative church walls reward close observation, while a small chapel on a separate rock above the gorge creates one of the site’s most distinctive views.

Families can compare the buildings and look for carved details during a calm, unhurried visit. Enjoy the chapel from a safe viewpoint rather than treating its rock setting as somewhere to climb. Keep young children close near the gorge and respect the monastery’s religious setting.

This is a religious heritage site. Respect worshippers and on-site guidance. Outdoor grounds and indoor spaces may have different access arrangements.
