Abstract. The article aims to investigate Dagestan peoples’ dwelling as an object of spiritual culture, to examine the dwelling constructive elements, interior and the features, which go beyond utilitarian pragmatics. The study is based on the historical-comparative method, the participant observation method and the principle of historical-cultural reconstruction. For the first time in Dagestan ethnographical science the dwelling is investigated as an object of spiritual culture. For the mountaineers the house was not only a place to protect them from ugly weather and enemies but a kind of spiritual world, in which an individual’s world vision and world perception were formed, the life of many generations was passing by. In the dwelling national traditions were formed, from architectural to social and philosophical ones.
