Architectural Description
13 c․

It was a vaulted structure built of coarse stone and mortar, of which the northern part has remained, while the southern section was almost totally collapsed. There were no inscriptions on the preserved walls. The length of the church was 5.50 m, width of the walls - 80 cm. The planning was exactly identical to that of Otzka Vank (the monastery near the village Ptretsik), which was doubtlessly built in the XIII cent.
