Nor Varagavank is a XIII century monastic complex, an exceptional example of medieval Armenian architecture. It was established in a memory of Varagavank monastery (located in Western Armenia now occupied by Turkey), which was destroyed during Mongol invasion. On the territory of the monastery you'll find uniquely styled cross-stones with elaborate ornamentation and numerous inscriptions. The monastery is only partially restored. On the side-note, if you are planing to travel to it from Yerevan, do not take the road through Berd (H36), which Google Maps might suggest, instead take the longer road (M4 from Ijevan and then H37 toward Vazashen, Paravakar and eventually Varagavan). The road through Berd is shorter (thats why Google suggests it), but its in a catastrophic condition and you will spend more time fighting it than if you take the longer route, which has a decent asphalt. It will take you approximately 2,5 hours to reach it from Yerevan.

Nor Varagavank or The Monastery of New Varaga. The Old Varagavank used to be situated in Western Armenia. It used to be one of the most important Armenian monasteries of all time. Unfortunately, it is completely destroyed. But this monastery still actively operates. It is one of the most important pilgrimage sites of Tavush region of Armenia. The design of this monastery is so unique and so beautiful. Just look at the neatly carved ornaments. One of the main visit cards of this site is its main entrance. I highly recommend this place if you travel in this region of Armenia. Just enjoy the great view from this place. P.S. You may see the ornament depicting Crucifixion.

Նոր Վարագավանքը կառուցվել է 12-14-րդ դարերում։ Այն կրում է 7-րդ դարում Վանա Լճի ափին կառուցված Վարագավանքի անունը, որը ներկայումս գրեթե ոչնչացված է։ Գյուղից մինչև վանք լավ ճանապարհ է, կարելի է բարձրանալ մեքենայով։ Վանքը վերջին տարիներին զգալիորեն վերականգնվել է։ Հատկապես արժեքավոր են միջնադարյան խաչքարերը։ Նոր Վարագավանքը Տավուշի մարզի պատմաճարտարապետական գլխավոր տեսարժան վայրերից մեկն է։
