St. Hripsime Monastery

Azerbaijan / Northern Artsakh / Shamkhor / Barsum

Description
19 c․

The main walls of St. Hripsime, that was, probably, a convent, are preserved in Akubants (i.e. Hakob’s) Garden situated on the left bank of the river Shamkor, east of Barsum. A record dating back to the late 19th century states the following concerning it, “At present the wooden ceiling of the monument, entirely built of stones and mortar, lies in dilapidation: it is the convent of St. Hripsime mentioned by Mkhitar Gosh.”
