Ruins of Grigori Bardzrakash Monastery in Lori Armenia

The first reconstruction is connected with Mamikonyans. The vestibule of the chapel belongs to the number of ones, which in contrast to the original basalt remainders is built of yellowish-reddish felzit. Mamikonyans` family emblem preserved over the eastern window. On the southern wall a sun watch is curved, the numerals of the chapel are half-round as in many other medieval monuments Haghpat, Sanahin, etc.. The chapel is only 3 m high, and its length was obviously changed. The frontal wall and the frame of the southern entry also preserved since Mamikonyans` times. The building looks as present thank to 1900 reconstruction, during which the walls were almost completely renewed. An inscription on the frontal arch of the dome tells about its reconstruction.
