The Gadaborsh Tower Complex is a castle-type complex located in the Jairakh district a kilometer from the central highway, on a forest glade south of the Nizhny Ozdik complex.

The complex consists of a battle tower and six residential tower structures connected by a stone defensive wall. The battle tower controlled the entrance to the castle, located in its south corner.

Residential towers 2-3 storeys, in terms of rectangular, once had a flat roof with a parapet and reached a significant height (12.00 m). Above the complex on top of a gentle wooded ridge is a severely damaged large temple-sanctuary of the XVII century Dzorakh-Dyala.

Also in the south-west of the complex in 200-300 m there is a residential tower and an extension, and in the south-east in 500 m - a former Muslim cemetery.

In the vicinity of Gadaborsh until the beginning of the XX century, iron ores were mined, from which local residents made household goods, weapons and other utensils.

The Gadaborsh 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.
