The complex includes already heavily damaged late medieval 8 residential and 1 semi-combat tower with various annexes and stone defensive walls, with each tower included in a separate complex of structures. The double tower, in terms of rectangular, had 4 floors and a flat roof with a parapet. In height it remained at 11.30m. Local residential towers are 2-3 storeys, with a rectangular base, a flat roof and a parapet. On the walls and doorways of two residential towers you can see petroglyphs and tamgas.
