Narekavank was a tenth-century Armenian monastery in the historic province of Vaspurakan, near the southern shore of Lake Van in present-day Gevaş district. Founded in 908, it was one of the most prominent monasteries of medieval Armenia and had a major school where the poet Gregory of Narek flourished. It was abandoned in 1915 during the Armenian genocide and reportedly demolished around 1951; a mosque now stands on its site.
