КРИМ - ЦЕ УКРАЇНА!

Фортеця Керменчик у Високому відома з XIII сторіччя. Кам'яне укріплення на горі Фортеця (700 метрів над рівнем моря) розташоване за 0,5 кілометри на захід від села, яке до 1945 року також мало назву Керменчик (маленька фортеця).

Довжина оборонної стіни становила понад 230 метрів, з півдня була вежа-донжон. Зберігся фрагмент фортечної стіни висотою 4,2 метри і шириною 7 метрів.

Фортеця Керменчик була споруджена за часів князівства Феодоро і служила для укриття місцевого населення у разі небезпеки, а також було сполучною сигнальною посадою, добре видно з укріплень Мангупа, Сюренської фортеці, Тепе- Кермена та Киз-Кермена.
