The Aldam-Gezi castle (fortress) is located in the village of Kezenoy in the Vedeno district of the Chechen Republic, a few kilometers southwest of Lake Kazennoy-Am. It is one of the oldest castle complexes in the Republic. It represents the most ancient core of the village of Kezenoy in particular and Cheberloy in general.
The fortress consists of a citadel, a group of dilapidated buildings, a mosque, an older religious building and a dwelling tower, known as Daud's Tower, carefully constructed of perfectly hewn stones and slabs. There is a tombstone embedded under the door sill of the mosque. The so-called “mullah's room” with a unique ceiling of stones has been preserved in the building of the ancient temple. One of the slabs has cracked from time and gravity. Behind it there is a two-room cult building and an elevated platform. There are also two stones with round hollows (so-called bowl stones); barley was pounded in them to make beer, a mandatory drink in all ancient cult ceremonies. From the east, along the mentioned buildings, along the ledges of marl rocks there is a path to the top of the cliff. The flat top of the cliff is fortified on all sides by walls, and where the wall passes over a crevice, a supporting arch is built under it. This is the citadel of the castle. Cattle were driven here during the siege. There was also a combat tower on the rock, of which only stones have survived. At the turn to the upper site, a serpentine pattern of a deer hunting scene and a serpentine pattern with brackets can be seen on the rock monolith. Higher up the slope lie the ruins of a whole group of buildings. Near the castle there are Muslim cemeteries with ancient churts (grave markers) remotely resembling medieval above-ground crypts (malkh-kash). Remains of a well are also visible here. All the buildings are half-destroyed.
The Aldam-Gezi fortress 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.
