Bespakyr mausoleum is a unique religious monument of Kazakhstan, built in the 30s of the XIX century. It is located in Korgalzhyn district of Akmola region.
According to the legend, the mazar was built in honor of five heroes who fought in the national liberation uprising led by Kenesary Kasymuly in the 30s of the XIX century. That is why it is called Bespakyr. The construction of the two-room mazar is different. Through the door on the east side, you can enter an oval room about three meters in size. The door is curved, high, arched and decorated with recesses. The height of the walls is about three meters. According to sources, the raw bricks used for the mausoleum were originally made of sheep's milk mixed with horsehair and clay. Horse hair is strong and durable, which does not wear out over the years. The fact that the yen does not rot from the wind, snow and rain in the steppe, and does not turn into mud again, shows that the masters who make bricks are skilled professionals. The round tomb consists of a domed spherical burial chamber and a portal with a conical dome. The mausoleum describes a different type of mausoleum in the form of a dome, a sagana.
