Argun Reserve

The Argun State Historical-Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve is a reserve located in the southern part of the Chechen Republic on the territory of the Vedeno Reserve and covering the Itum-Kali and Sharoy districts in whole, as well as partially Achkhoy-Martan, Vedeno and Shatoy districts. It was established on June 2, 1988 by the resolution of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR. The area is 233,800 hectares. We can safely say that the Argun Reserve is an open-air museum. It includes historical and natural monuments of the Argun Gorge. Of the natural monuments on the territory of the Argun Museum-Reserve, the most remarkable is the Sheki-Hyekh cave with sulfur springs, from which a hydrogen sulfide river flows. Of the cultural and historical sites, there are about 150 tower complexes of the early and late Middle Ages, religious buildings, military and residential towers, early Muslim burials, cyclopean structures and other historical monuments. Many objects of the museum-reserve are in ruined condition.

Aslambek Seritkhanov, head of the Khoi Museum of History and Architecture, welcomed the dear guests from Moscow and opened the doors to the world of Chechen history and culture.

He took them on a tour of the Khoi territory, which was a real journey through time, and the guests were charmed not only by the beauty of the ancient complex, but also by the warm welcome.

Leaving Khoi, the guests took with them not only impressions from what they had seen, but also a piece of this amazing place.
