Bgheno-Noravank (
Armenian: Բղենո-Նորավանք) is an 11th-century
Armenian monastery in the province of
Syunik in
Armenia, 3km to the East of
Bardzravan village, to the left of the road to
Shurnukh, on a triangular promontory surrounded by wooded gorges.[1] It now consists of a small church dating to 1062, located on a little wooded promontory, and ornately decorated with borders and biblical reliefs. The ruins of this church were rediscovered in the 1920s by
Axel Bakunts, a well-known prose writer, during one of his wanderings as an
agronomist.[2]
