The tower complex of Hakmadoy (XIV-XVI centuries) is located in the Sharoy district of the Chechen Republic in a kilometer from the village of Hakmadoy, 3 km from the village of Sharoy and 5 km from the district center of Himoy on the cape, before which the rivers Hakmadoy-akhk and Melchikhi flow into Sharo-Argun.

Medieval buildings of the complex are four residential towers of stone-sandstone, which are in a ruined state, as well as a hospital with a healing spring and a mosque. The Hakmadoy mosque is an architectural monument of the XIX century, fully restored only in 2023. It is noteworthy that stone collected from all over the ruined complex was used to restore the mosque. The mosque is a large two-storey rectangular structure, laid out of well-processed stone on a clay-lime mortar. At the level of the second floor there is a mihrab 1.90 m high. Above it is a stone statue in the form of an irregular ball.

The tower complex of Hakmadoy is an object of cultural heritage, located on the territory of the Argun Historical, Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve and is protected by the state.
