About the place
The khanqah was built in the 16th century, when the Shaybanid ruler Abdullah Khan II was adding buildings to the Chor Bakr burial ground of the Juybari sheikhs. It has double-leaf doors on three sides and a mihrab on the qibla wall.
The portal carries tile decoration and small corner towers, and a band of white thuluth script on blue records who built it. Inside, the dome rests on intersecting arches. The complex lies in the village of Sumitan, a short drive west of the city.
Why go
- Thuluth inscription on the portal
- Part of the Chor Bakr necropolis
