Princely Palace 12 c․

NKR / Karvajar / Dadivank

Description
1911 y․

These structures were situated in the southwestern side of the complex. They were linked to each other, but stood a little apart from the religious buildings. There had been at least 5 structures of various assignments. The second house consisted of a winepress and a cellar in the basement, and the princely quarters upstairs. A simple small chapel is still preserved in the northern end of the princely residence, i. e. being included into the monastery complex the house had its own chapel for praying in private. Unfortunately the princely quarters are badly damaged. Wide arched windows of its southern facade were still discernibly visible on the photograph taken by Mesrop Magistros in 1911.
