Lyalakh is a large castle-type complex in the eastern part of the Chulkhoy gorge. Now here you can see damaged 3 battle towers and dilapidated 22 residential tower buildings. The buildings are placed on the slope by tiers. Battle towers are 5-storey and reach a height of 26.00 m. The western battle tower had a pyramid-step roof, which collapsed in 2008. At the eastern battle tower, the roof was absent initially, the master failed to finish it. Between two huge blocks of rocks stands the third damaged original three-storey battle tower Magoy-Jel, oriented walls strictly to the cardinal points, which had a flat roof with a jagged finish. The walls of the tower rest on the rocks. The residential towers of Lyalakh were located higher up the slope and reached an impressive size, up to 14 meters in height. Between them were arranged wooden passages from one tower to another. Two pillar-shaped sanctuaries towered in the Lyalakh, later a mosque was built.

The Lyalakh tower complex is part of the Dzhirakh-Assin State Historical, Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve and is an identified object of cultural heritage protected by the state.
