St. Hakob Monastery of the Republic of Artsakh

Founded in the early Middle Ages, the St. Hakob Monastery is located in the Martakert region of the Republic of Artsakh. In subsequent centuries, the Armenian princes of Artsakh rebuilt it; by the 13th century, Hakob Monastery was already a large monastic complex. In 2020, a pan-Armenian fundraising campaign was launched for the restoration of the monastery. In 2023, the monastery, together with the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, was occupied by Azerbaijan. Since then, the St. Hakob Monastery has been under the jurisdiction of the Artsakh Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
