St. Amenaprkich (Napat Vank) Monastery

Satellite imagery shows the removal of the metal roof from the St. Amenaprkich monastery near Tepekend/Tonashen. The impact appears to date between October 2024 and April 2025. A high-resolution image from Google Earth shows the extent of the damage. The removal of metal roofs from heritage sites fits a pattern of what CHW has elsewhere described as “heritage mining.”

The complex has a chapel and auxiliary building with an Armenian inscription and cross stones. Sources note a restoration in 1888.
