The staff of the museum-reserve, within the framework of the plan of works on identification and registration of previously unrecorded architectural monuments, on the territory of the complex “Nyak'ist” discovered a previously unrecorded ancient monument with the signs of a cultural heritage object.

The revealed object is half-destroyed, located 200 meters south-west of the complex and, presumably, is a sanctuary. As it is known, a sanctuary is a building, premises, which our ancestors used for religious rituals.

The object is made of chiseled gray stone, the thickness of the walls is 50 cm. The preserved height of the walls is from 1.5 m (western wall) to 3 m (south-eastern wall), on the eastern wall there is a doorway - 0.6 m wide and 0.8 m high. The building is one-storeyed, no roof, foundations are present, the area at the base is about 9 square meters. The northern wall is semi-subterranean, the roof was stepped, the sanctuary is located in a dense thicket of woodland, perhaps that is why it has remained so far undiscovered.

Temples-sanctuaries, in distinction from crypt constructions, have doorways. The fact that the preserved building was a sanctuary, say and natives of this complex, who saw it intact in the 50-ies of the last century - after returning from deportation and noted that there were household items, as well as horns and bones of sacrificial animals.
