History

The village was inhabited in pre-Christian times. The St. James' Church was built in the 5th century and is still used today. About the origin of the village name, there are two theories. One says that Deyrkube of the words Deyr ( Deyro = monastery) and kube ( kubo = height or peak ) caramel. It may also be that kubo is derived from Jacob, it would then Deyro d Mor Jakub (ie Monastery of St. Jacob ) result. Formerly St. Jacob was a monastery.

There are six churches and monastery ruins in Deyrkube and three outside. There are about 80 caves that were once used by people as property. In addition, there are still about 20 small villages in Deyrkube, all located in ruins.
