Walking Tour Through Sevanavank Monastery

Join Gregory Beylerian on a peaceful walking tour of Sevanavank Monastery, one of Armenia’s most iconic and spiritually rich landmarks, located on the scenic shores of Lake Sevan.

Filmed in early spring with snow still visible across the landscape, this video offers a quiet, reflective look at this ancient site that dates back to the 9th century. Founded in 874 AD by Princess Mariam of the Bagratuni royal family, Sevanavank was originally built on an island and served as a retreat for monks seeking solitude and divine connection. Today, it stands as a powerful symbol of Armenia’s deep Christian heritage and cultural resilience.

In this video, I walk through the monastery grounds, step inside the intimate stone chapel, and share historical background, personal reflections, and the spiritual atmosphere of this sacred place.

Whether you’re planning a visit to Armenia or simply exploring from afar, I hope this video brings you a sense of peace, beauty, and inspiration.
