A medieval Armenian monastery called Surp Karapet was located in Abrakunis. It stood intact but in a state of disrepair until shortly before 2005, when it was demolished.[2] The main church in the monastery was built in 1381 over the ruins of a previous church. Internally, it was a domed basilica with four piers. The lower parts of the church were built with cut stone, but the dome and its tall drum were of brick and from a later repair. The interior had Persian-style frescoes from the 1740s. On the exterior walls were various relief carvings, crosses, eagles, etc. Beside the south wall was a small chapel dedicated to St. Stephanos. In 1705 a bell tower was added to the roof of this chapel.[3] The main church of the monastic complex was still standing in the 1980s.[4] The church and whatever was remaining from the monastic complex was already totally erased by October 7, 2001.[4] On May 31, 2013, a newly constructed mosque was opened on the place of the former monastery.[4]
