Хой, Medieval defense tower in Vedensky District, Chechnya, Russia.
The stone tower rises from the mountainous terrain with narrow windows and thick walls designed for protection against external threats.
Built during the Middle Ages, the tower served as a strategic fortification for noble Chechen families who controlled the surrounding territories.
The structure represents traditional Vainakh architecture with carved symbols and geometric patterns that reflect ancient Chechen building techniques.
Located in Khoy village, the tower requires careful navigation through mountain roads and arrangements with local authorities for visits.
The tower contains original defensive features including arrow slots, observation points, and internal levels connected by stone ladders.
