Old Tegher village is as series of ruins on the hill to your L as you approach the church from the parking lot. The village was once quite large and the foundations for the houses and buildings remain to show just how big it was. The small church at the S end of the village is a Tukh Manuk/ 5th c Astvatsatsin.
