The history of Vovnushki

The first reliable descriptions of Vovnushki date back to the beginning of the 18th century. At that time, the ancestral castle of the Ozdoevs played an important strategic role. The fact is that the neighboring Assinskoe Gorge was then the only direct and relatively convenient passage through the Caucasian ridge. On this route, caravans constantly went, which were raided by robbers. Vovnushki served as a refuge and protection for travelers (like a number of other neighboring castles, a single ensemble included in the group of the Dzheyrakh-Assinsky Museum-Reserve).
