It was built in the first third of the XVIII century by Kaplan Baratashvili-Orbelishvili. It consists of 2 parts; There are two towers in each and 5 towers in the fortress wall. Each of them is, first of all, for residential purposes, and then for fighting purpose. The Northwest tower is like a tower purpose palace and there is a wall in the middle of which the steps are arranged. One side has 6 floors, the other - 7. The last floors are for fighting purpose and the rest of them- for residential. The whole castle is built of local rock.

The tower overlooks the river from a pretty high cliff. It can be accessed through an uphill tunnel. There is a single-storey dwelling place, which seems to play the role of distributor.
