Aksay customs outpost
Aksay customs outpost, Customs outpost in Aksay, Russia
The Aksay customs outpost consists of earthen fortifications with underground brick chambers stretching across 350 square meters near the Maly Log ravine.
Founded in 1763, this military fortress served as a strategic defense point during Russian-Turkish wars and protected trade routes at the intersection of eight commercial paths.
The museum complex features permanent exhibitions displaying cold steel weapons, firearms, customs officers' personal items, and tools used in customs service operations.
The museum complex operates regular tours through its underground stone chambers, where visitors can explore historical artifacts and learn about regional customs history.
The fortress walls contain earth layers reaching 10 meters in thickness, designed to withstand artillery fire and later repurposed as vegetable storage and wartime shelter.
