Hnevank is a 7th-12th century Armenian Apostolic Church monastery, located near the village of Kurtan in the Lori Province of Armenia. The monastery is situated on a hill within a gorge, near where the Dzoraget and Gargar rivers join. The monastery was entirely rebuilt by lord Smbat of the House of Orbelian, a branch of the Liparitids who were expelled to Armenia in the late 12th century from Georgia. Liparitids were themselves a branch of the Mamikonians. Smbat was the ancestor of the Armenian princes of Syunik. A Georgian inscription around the drum attests his name. The monastery has a gavit and various service buildings scattered around the site. The government of Armenia has recently begun renovating the monastery. The collapsed dome of the main church has been restored entirely.

It is located in the Dzoraget Canyon of the Lori region of Armenia, next to the Dzoraget river. There is a lot of controversy, especially among local residents, whether Tsitsqar is located in the gorge of Arevatsag village or Kurtan village.
