Samtsevrisi Castle is a large medieval Georgian castle or fortress in the village of Samtsevrisi, Kareli Municipality, in Georgia's region of Shida Kartli. Its construction time and ownership have been unknown. Presumably, it belonged to noble Panaskerteli-Tsisishvili ancestors, who settled here in the 15th century. One of the castle towers, though, belongs to the early medieval times. Meanwhile, the place was already inhabited by the 2nd millennium B.C. Part of the castle currently serves as the premises of Samtsevrisi Monasteri (since 1997). Read more on Wikipedia
