Башня Мамсуровых, Medieval tower in Dargavs, Russia

Description

The Mamsurov Tower is a stone defensive structure built into the terrain of Dargavs valley and rises about 16 meters high. The walls are thick and rough, with multiple interior levels designed to protect the family's holdings from threats.

History

The Mamsurov family built this tower in the 17th century as part of their estate in Dargavs valley. The structure forms part of a longer settlement history where several such towers were erected by influential families.

Culture

The tower shows how wealthy mountain families lived and displayed their power through solid stone construction. Visitors can see the cramped rooms and low ceilings that shaped daily life in these highland fortifications.

Practical

The structure is open to visitors year-round, with guided tours available to explain the defensive features. Wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for narrow stairways and low doorways typical of these old structures.
