Kobayr monastery was founded in 1171 by Mariam, the daughter of King Kyurikyan of the Bagratuni dynasty. Kobayr Monastery is one of the outstanding monuments of developed medieval Armenian architecture, whose history is closely connected with the activities of famous medieval Armenian feudal houses, the Kyurikyan branch of the Bagratuni dynasty and members of the Zakaryan dynasty. According to bibliographic references, the expansion of the Kobayr monastic complex began at the end of the 12th and beginning of the 13th centuries, when the monastery passed from the Kyurikians to the Zakarians. At the same time the main temple, the chapel-keeper, the open hall adjoining it from the west, the refectory, the bell tower - burial vault, chapels and fortifications were built. All of them are in a dilapidated state today.
Horomayr According to Horomayr inscriptions, the upper and lower buildings were built in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The first mention of Horomayr dates back to the seventh century. The only one on the front stone of the northern entrance is a tall sculpture of the Virgin Mary, the baby Jesus. Around the complex is the monastery cemetery with cross-stones and tombstones from the 13th century. The monastery consists of a small church-belfry next to each other, a separate chapel, cross-stones and figures carved in the rocks.
Kobayr and Horomair is located in the gorge, the Debed River flows from here, and the route runs along the edge of the gorge through the gardens. The Church of St. Astvatsatsin in Odzun is located in the center of the village of Odzun, has a large courtyard and a medieval cemetery.
