Tegher Monastery
Aragatsotn, Armenia
Tegher Monastery is an early 13th-century Armenian monastery and church located on the southeastern slopes of Mount Aragats near the modern village of Tegher. It was built for Princess Khatun (also known as Mamakhatun), the wife of Prince Vache I Vachutian who had purchased the district of Aragatsotn from the Zakarian brothers. The architect Vardapet Aghbayrik designed Tegher and the monasteries of Saghmosavank and Hovhannavank. The monastery survived intact during a time when Mongol invasions caused great destruction. There are burials within the church's narthex (gavit) and some gravestones are found outside the church as well.
