This is Fortress Por-Bajin which, in translation from the Tuva language means "Clay House". This architectural monument, which is at least 1200 years old, dwells on an island in the middle of the Tere-Hol lake in the Republic of Tuva.
Built by Uigur Eletmish Bilige a little after his armies conquered the area in 750AD.
Here's the website.
