St. Gevorg Monastery was a ruinous Armenian monastery located near Khanagah village (Julfa District) of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan.[1] The monastery was located on a hill, approximately 3 km northeast of Yernjak (Alinja) fortress.[2]
The monastery was founded in the 9th century; in 841 a church council met here. It is mentioned by the 13th-century historian Stepanos Orbelian. It was renovated in the 14th and 17th centuries.[3]
The monastery was a vaulted building with a single-chamber nave. It had a semicircular apse, entryways in the northern and western facades, a vestry along the northern facade, and a porch on the west.
The monastery was in ruins in the late Soviet period and the ruins were still intact on October 7, 2001.[1] However, by November 11, 2009, the foundations of the monastery had been razed, the blocks removed, and the site graded, as documented by investigation of the Caucasus Heritage Watch.[1]
