History

The monastery was founded in the 10th to 12th centuries and was renovated in the 17th century. [2] [3]

The monastery was in ruins in the later Soviet period; the roof and upper walls were destroyed, but it was possible to discern the overall plan of the building, with vaulted hall, semicircular apse, and doorway in the south. [2] [3]

The remains of the monastery were still extant on August 30, 2001, however, by July 15, 2011, the monastery had been erased, as documented by Caucasus Heritage Watch. [1]
