St. Nshan or Hazarabyurats Monastery was a ruinous Albanian monastery located near the village of Kuku (Shahbuz District) of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan.[1] It was located on the slope of a hill, approximately 700m north of the village.[1] [2]
The monastery was founded in the middle of the 13th century and was renovated in the 15th and 17th centuries.[3]
The monastery was a domed structure with three apses, four vestries, and a doorway on the west that opened onto a porch. There were Armenian inscriptions on the interior added in late 19 century. A vaulted structured to the west of the church was probably serving as a library.
The monastery complex was in ruins in the late Soviet period.[1] The ruinous complex was in the process of further destruction in May 2003 and it was completely erased by April 26, 2009, as documented by Caucasus Heritage Watch.[1]
