Dadivank (Template:Lang-hy), also Khutavank (Template:Lang-hy), is an Armenian monastery, de facto controlled by the Republic of Artsakh as part of its Shahumyan Province, de jure in the Kalbajar District of Azerbaijan. It was built between the 9th and 13th centuries.

History and architecture

The monastery was founded by St. Dadi, a disciple of Thaddeus the Apostle who spread Christianity in Western Armenia during the first century AD. However, The monastery was first mentioned in the 9th century. In July, 2007, the grave of St. Dadi was discovered under the holy altar of the main church. The princes of Upper Khachen are also buried at Dadivank, under the church's gavit.

Restoration

In 1994, following the end of the Nagorno-Karabakh war, the monastery was reopened, and in 2004, a renovation process began with funding from Armenian-American businesswoman Edele Hovnanian, ending in 2005. The restoration efforts restored the cathedral, along with a chapel which was restored by Edik Abrahamian, an Armenian from Tehran, Iran.

In August 2017, Italian specialists who had previously conducted restoration operations at Davidank returned to continue their cleaning and restoration of the monastery. They had already restored of the four chapels and their frescoes, and were now planning to restore inscriptions and ornaments near the doors to the chapels. The entire restoration project is planned to be completed by 2020.

However, as a result of Nagorno-Karabakh War (2020) which resulted in a cease-fire agreement stipulating an Armenian withdrawal from Dadivank and a hand-over of the surrounding area to Azerbaijan, the Abbot of the Dadivank Monastery decided to bring the monastery's Christian art of significance to Armenia, due to fears of destruction by the Azeris.
