 The Katoghike (Cathedral) church stands south of S. Nshan, with a narrow passage dividing them.Judging by an inscription, it was built under Prince Vasak Khakhpakyan of the Proshyan clan (in the first quarter of the 13th century) by the architect Vetsik, in whose memory a khachkar, ornamented with highly artistic carving, was put up a little south of the church.The Katoghike church belongs to the cross-winged domed type and has two-story annexes in all the four corners of the prayer hall.
