Dadivank Monastery

Dadivank, also known as Khutavank, is an ancient Armenian monastery built in the 12th-13th centuries, and it is one of the most magnificent and significant monastic complexes in medieval Armenia. Located in the Kelbajar district of Azerbaijan, half a kilometer north of the Terter River, this architectural masterpiece stands at an altitude of 1100 meters above sea level. From early April 1993 until November 2020, the territory around the monastery was under the control of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), adding further mystery and interest to this historical site.
