About this place
Kinzi Castle stands near Bağdaşen village, approximately 30 kilometres west of Ardahan, southeast of the Bülbülan Plateau. Set within the countryside, its ruins offer an interesting stop for travellers who enjoy discovering historical places beyond the city centre. The village also appears in historical references as Kinzodamal. According to the Serhat Development Agency’s travel guide, the castle was established to protect the old trade and migration route linking Yalnızçam, Bülbülan and Ardanuç. Take a moment to study the surrounding landscape alongside the surviving remains: the setting helps explain the fortress’s strategic purpose. Plan your visit as an outdoor exploration of castle ruins. Wear sturdy shoes, carry water and ask residents in Bağdaşen about the final approach before setting out. Avoid climbing loose masonry or historic walls while exploring the site.
