Mirza Abdurahman, who held the court office of a'lam under Amir Haydar, founded this madrasa in 1809. It has two floors and 21 student rooms, built of brick, stone, wood and carved plaster, and it was used for teaching until the 1920s.
The building belongs to the Khoja Gaukushan group of monuments on Bahouddin Naqshband street, a short walk from Lyabi Hauz. Today it serves visitors as a teahouse, which makes it easy to look inside.
