Castle remains rising at a steep point south of Kalecik village in Göle, where the village stream meets the Kura valley.

Safety warning

Unprotected remains on steep terrain; wear hiking shoes and stay away from the edges. Ask in advance about winter conditions on rural roads.

Its story

It stands about 450-500 meters south of the village of Kalecik in the Göle district, on steep ground where the stream coming from the village joins the Kura valley. Mentioned in GoTürkiye's Ardahan routes and hiking suggestions, the castle, thanks to its position overlooking the Kura valley, is a good spot for taking in the depth of the valley and the surrounding yayla views. Since published detailed research on the structure is limited, its period is not known for certain; the remains can be seen on a short walk from the village. As Göle is a highland district known for its kaşar cheese, a visit to the castle can be planned together with the district's yayla and village life.
