Sardar’s Fortress

Sardar’s fortress was built during the reign of Huseyngulu Khan Qajar. This fortress, which dates back to the years 1807–1826, was used as the center of the Sardarabad district and was the summer residence of the Khan of Iravan.

In 1828, the Sardarabad fortress was occupied by Russian troops, and as a result, the fortress was severely damaged. In the following years, the fortress was completely destroyed.
