Levon varpet’s Cave-Museum is a unique cave museum, created by the hands of a man, Levon Arakelyan in Arinj village. The master’s wife once asked him to dig a cellar. As a result – seven rooms on different levels, smooth and ceilings created without any drawings. In total, the master deepened 21 meters and dug almost 150 meters of corridors. The intersection of the passages form a cross, in the middle of which there is a holy place. One of the original and mysterious inventions of the warp is a fireplace with a ventilation shaft, which he cut from the bottom up without the help of technology. The master felt that someone was leading him, advised how to arrange the rooms, where to turn the corridor.
