The towers are four stories in height with small courtyards. Each tower has a catapult mounted on the roof for defensive use against besieging forces or hostile vessels in the channel.

History
- Originally a single keep was built in 167 YG and located on the east bank of the channel on the inside bend with water on three sides. This strategic location was critical in establishing control over the lake and provided early protection to the town, which grew into the city of Kayb'r Aihi. In 204 YG, a second keep was constructed in a similar design to the first, on the outer bend and west bank, and the chain gate was integrated into the defenses.
