Built in 1908 by the order of Gholamrezakhan Vali (Abouqaddareh), it was constructed on the historical mound of Chaqamirag in Ilam Province.
The renovation includes the walls, doors, windows, and the decorations as well as the construction of the area surrounding the castle.
Covering an area of 6487/17m, the castle has a trapezium façade. The castle has 3 entrances of which the major one is built of bricks in an octagonal style. The middle part of the southern angel of the castle opens to the street through several successive stairs.
The stairs show that the level of the building was higher than the area around the castle. There are two vestibules at the end of the doors providing light for the rooms. The vestibules are decorated with several brick decorations and beautiful arches.
Made of mortar and brick, the ceilings of all the rooms are decorated with beautiful arches in the Roman style accompanied with colorful tiles.
The castle holds 22 rooms and 6 basements. It is estimated the basements were used for rest in spring and summer and in older times as prison.+
The royal chamber of the edifice has also large wooden windows with unique plasterworks and patterns of flowers and a little stone pond in the middle.
Colorful glass is used in decoration of the wooden doors and windows. The main patterns on the walls belong to the pictures of the rulers and their spouses. There are also two spaces at the end of the edifice leading to shallow hallways into the yard and the towers.
