Gtichavank ( Armenian Գտիչավանք ) is an Armenian monastery in Hadrut Province of the independent Nagorno-Karabakh Republic . It is somewhat remote in a heavily forested mountain landscape, west of the village of Togh .

The monastery was founded in the middle of the 13th century. The church of the monastery has a cross-shaped floor plan and is stylistically similar to the Armenian churches of the monasteries Dadiwank and Gandsassar, which were built around the time . In 2007 the monastery was renovated.
