Wonderful Energy
Ein alter ehrwürdiger Ort. Schade, dass alles spätestens seit dem Erdbeben 1988 so verfallen ist.
Dennoch gibt es Zeichen von Religiosität, man kann Kerzen anzünden.

Aruchavank (7th century) or the Cathedral of Aruch (Saint Grigor church) is situated on a rocky plateau at the western foot of Mount Aragats in the village of Aruch in the Aragatsotn Province of Armenia
According to wall inscriptions on the east wall and manuscripts written by historians Ghevond, Hovhannes Draskhanakerttsi, and Stepanos Asoghik, the church and adjoining building for residence (the palace) were commissioned by Prince Grigor Mamikonian and his wife Heghine/Heline between 661-682 AD. Architecturally it is one of the most important Armenian churches of the Middle Ages and also one of the largest.
Fantastic Mysterious place
Ancient church, now in ruins. Still very impressive.
