Kecharis monastic complex is one of the most important cultural monuments of Tsaghkadzor. The four churches of the monastic complex were built during the XI-XIII centuries. Having unique architecture and rich history, Kecharis has been one of the prominent church and writing centers of Armenia for centuries, thanks to Pahlavuni and Proshian princes. The complex consists of four churches, a vestibule, chapels and about three dozen khachkars (XI-XVII centuries). Over the centuries, the monastery had been destroyed and restored many times. The current appearance of the monastic complex is thanks to the Austrian-Armenian philanthropist Vladimir Harutyunyan.
