Kümbet Asar Kale is a typical Phrygian castle on a rocky hill overlooking the mountain roads of the Kümbet Valley and Beldere route, 1.5 km northeast of Kümbet Village, in the north of the valley. It has a stepped and ramped entrance from the north. There are silos carved into the bedrock, rooms carved into the rock, and a monumental cistern with a vaulted ceiling.
