The Egi-chozh complex is located in the Achkhoy-Martan district of the Chechen Republic, about 27 km southwest of the district center of Achkhoi-Martan, in the locality of Egi-chozh. It is situated in the foothills, on steep precipitous slopes on both sides of the Fortanga River.

Apparently built in the 10th-16th centuries, the complex blocked the gorge at its narrowest point, from ridge to ridge, to protect the population of “Little Chechnya” from steppe raids. The right-bank part of the Egi-Chozh site is represented by three tiered castle-type complexes (all with combat towers and barrier walls) and one guard complex. The left-bank part of the complex consists of one combat tower and many dwelling towers and outbuildings. The dwelling towers of the complex are large, two- to three-storied, up to 20 meters long. The combat towers (four of them have survived) reached a height of 20 meters. The towers are in an emergency condition. The roofs and ceilings have collapsed. The preserved walls have cracks.

The Egi-chozh architectural complex represents types of Vainakh medieval fortification and residential architecture. The complex is of interest to researchers of architectural history.

The Egi-chozh Complex is a cultural heritage site and is located on the territory of the Argun Historical, Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve. It is protected by the state.
