Architecture
Okon castle is semicircular in structure, with a 3 meter-thick wall. The southern and western parts of the castle are 20 meters from external walls and had been constructed to protect the second line. A southwestern corner of the wall has 5-meter high towers. Absence of the northwestern part of the wall is likely due to the fact that builders had no time to completely finish the construction.
