Tarsh is a large castle-type tower complex on the spur of Mät Loam Mountain. Now it is noted dilapidated three military, eight residential tower structures with various annexes and the remains of three stone defensive walls of the late Middle Ages. Each of the battle towers was part of independent, but closely interconnected powerful castle complexes. Two towers reached five floors and had a flat roof. The third battle tower remained unfinished.

75 meters east of the towers stands a rare core-shaped mausoleum with a round base and a cone-shaped top. In the burial chamber of the mausoleum were the remains of the dead, who were accompanied by funerary equipment, according to which the mausoleum is dated not earlier than the end of the XIV century.

Below the complex is a necropolis of seven semi-ruined ground collective crypts XIII-XIV centuries.

The Tarsh 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.
