Castle Doors Were Guards Of These Historic Fortresses And Built To Last Forever

Elegant Custom Wood Door designs of today are derived from old castle doors, church, or manor house designs from the historic past. But not many are actually built in the same hand and materials as the originals. Such as this entry door build in the same hand and materials as was the doors for this fortress.

Kaqavaberd (also known as Geghi Berd, Keghi Berd or Kegh) is a fortress located upon a ridge overlooking the Azat River gorge at the Khosrov State Reserve in the Ararat Province of Armenia.

The fortified walls of Kakavaberd are well preserved and crown a ridge within the Khosrov State Reserve. It is inaccessible from three of its sides because of the steep terrain. Towers at the northeastern side are 8 to 10 meters tall. Within the fortress are the ruins of a church and other structures.

The fortress was first mentioned by Hovhannes Draskhanakerttsi (John V the Historian) in the 9th-10th centuries in his History of Armenia as being controlled by the Armenian noble Bagratuni family. He wrote that in 924, after losing a battle at the island of Sevan, the commander and chief Beshir went on to attack the fortress of Kakavaberd.
