    The main church of the monastery is dedicated to Our Lady. It is an east-facing cross-domed church with four corner chapels and a drum with a tent roof. Its vestibule is much larger than the church itself. Four mighty pillars support the arches that divide the Gawit into nine sections. There is a light opening above the larger central square.

    Gawit, also Gavit (Armenian Գավիթ), refers to a mostly square vestibule in medieval Armenian architecture, which is attached to monastery churches in the west.
