It's worth the 30-minute walk northwest from the Sultan Saodat Ensemble to this ruined fortified manor house, where you can wander the maze-like series of mud-walled corridors and rooms. Murky legend has it that 40 young women holed up here in the 11th century (Kyrk Kyz means 'Forty Girls'), successfully fighting off waves of nomads after their menfolk were slain.
