Gumushkhana was a village in the Sharur-Daralayaz uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Pashali (Azizbeyov, Vayk) district, and present-day Vayots Dzor province. It was located near the Gumushkhana River, one of the tributaries of the Dagh River. The name of the village was noted as “Gumushjuk” in “The Iravan Province Review Book” dated 1728.

The village was solely inhabited by Azerbaijanis: 35 in 1831, 145 in 1873, 136 in 1886, 203 in 1897, 360 in 1904, 394 in 1914 and 234 Azerbaijanis in 1916. The Azerbaijanis were attacked, massacred or ousted from the village by Armenian armed units in 1918. After the establishment of Soviet power in present-day Armenia, the Azerbaijanis who survived managed to return to the village. The village was inhabited by 74 Azerbaijanis in 1922. They were forced to flee the village in 1923–1924. The village was abolished in 1925. At present, it lies in ruins.

There were silver ores in the village. Hence, its name which means “a house of silver”.
