Sacred monuments of Mangistau region.

Mausoleum of Nurbergen Kylyshev is located on Senek necropolis, dates back to 1900 of the XX century, located in Karakiya district of Mangistau region, 1.8 kilometers southeast of village of Senek, 2.3 kilometers north of cliff of Kulanda ledge, 1.1 kilometer from southern edge of Tuyesu sands.

In the first group of the necropolis, the most interesting from the architectural point of view is the mausoleum of Nurbergen Kylyshev, built by the famous architects Dutbay Zhandauletov and Nurniyaz Izbasarov. The composition of the mausoleum is organized by a clear combination of a square (5 x 5.5 meters) quadrangle on a developed three-step profiled base with a slender dome tent on a cylindrical drum.
The mausoleum has absolutely correct laconic forms. The main facade is located on the southeast side, it is highlighted with a parapet and decorated with a round medallion covered with carvings in the form of a national ornament.
The entrance opening is framed by a portal with a profiled sandrik (small cornice) and a four-step march closed by massive longitudinal pedestals.
The façade and walls of the mausoleum are decorated from the inside with bizarre ornamentation that once again emphasizes the great skill of the architects. Ornamental patterns are made in high technique and are based on plant motifs (flowers, petals, buds), as well as zoomorphic forms (tue-taban, kosmuiz, syarmuizm) and geometric shapes (circles, triangles, rhombuses, squares).
In the decoration of the mausoleum, the technique of carving along the contour was used, followed by polychrome coloring.
