Hayravank is a 9th to 12th century Armenian monastery situated on the southwest shores of Lake Sevan in Gegharkunik Province, Armenia. The monastic complex comprises a church, chapel, and gavit, surrounded by a small cemetery adorned with khachkars and gravestones. Nearby ruins reveal a much longer human presence at the site: fortification walls and settlement foundations dating from the Bronze Age through the medieval period, alongside archaeological finds including an Early Bronze Age polished black vessel and Iron Age weapons, tools, clay idols, and domestic remains.
