Yusef Khan Amir Mojahed Castle is a Qajar building in Shamsabad village, Shahrekord, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari. Its story continued beyond the era of the khans: it was later used for school camps, bringing the old building into the lives of new generations.

When was it built?

The castle dates to the Qajar period and was nationally listed on 29 March 1999 under number 2296. Restoration began in July 2015 in cooperation with the education authorities.

What was it built for?

Khans' castles could serve as homes as well as places for handling local affairs. Since 2015 the building has also been used as a school camp.

Something interesting

The restoration plan included reinforcing foundations and walls, structural ties, roof work, work on the brick facade, floor paving and a mud-brick wall. This shows that caring for the building involves more than changing its appearance, reaching from its foundations to its roof.

Good to know before you go

The castle is about 30 km from Shahrekord. Allow for the journey out of town and back.
Ask the custodian about visiting before travelling, and do not enter educational or enclosed areas.
