  The XIII cent. historian Stepanos Orbelian referred to the monastery as "Glorious sacred haven" and "Sanctuary of angels". It’s certainly fits the description.

  Frankly speaking it's the most beautiful and charming place I've seen in Armenia. You must be there!

  This monastery from the 11 century is small but wonderful and the scenery is amazing.

  Tsakhats kar is a wonderful monastery situated near Smbataberd. There are two ways to get here. The one is from the village Artabuynk and the other is from Yeghegis. It is also visible from Smbataberd. Getting there is easy. You can visit this place after or before Smbataberd.
  The scenery here is wonderful. You can see the Teksar mountains which are great. Also, the view over Smbataberd is wonderful!!!
  The name "Tsakhats kar" can be translated as "The stone of wood" (?).
  The monastery is cute. It is covered with beautiful ornaments. There are ornaments like swastikas, animals, stars of David, Christian crosses. I really think that I found the prettiest star of David (in Armenia) on one of the khachkars of this place! The khachkars here are beautiful.
  The other part of the monastery is a small chapel. There are two huge khachkars at the entrance of it.
  
  P.S. There is a small sculpture on the northern wall of the monastery depicting a predator and its prey.
