The ruins of the Zumsoy Tower are located in the Itum-Kali district of the Chechen Republic near the village of Zumsoy, 8 km from the district center of Itum-Kali. It is located on a precipitous cliff overlooking the Dzumserk River.

The site has not survived to our days. It is in a ruinized state, only one stone wall with window openings remains. Tentatively it was erected in X-XIV centuries. Petroglyphs were found on the stones of the construction. Researchers have not come to a single conclusion, what the object was originally. Perhaps it was a barracks complex.

The ruins of the Zumsoy Tower are a cultural heritage site and are located on the territory of the Argun Historical, Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve. They are protected by the state.
