Alasha-Khan Mausoleum

The rectangular structure rises 10 meters high, featuring a 16-sided drum topped with a dome and decorated with geometric patterns in burnt brick.

Built during the 11th-12th centuries, this mausoleum honors Alasha Khan, who established the three Kazakh Zhuz and became a ruler in the 15th century.

The mausoleum reflects architectural traditions through its proscenium-domical design, wooden decorations, and shaped brick elements around the central folding door.

Located on the Karakengir River bank, the monument includes a 3.65-meter high gallery connecting the first floor to viewing platforms around the dome.

The structure incorporates six directional columns supported by three hemispheres on each side of the facade, a design rarely found in Central Asian architecture.
