For almost 200 years until the early 20th century, this was the residence of the rulers of the Nakhchivan Khanate, one of many independent statelets that arose in the Caucasus following the death of Nadir Shah in 1747. Formerly a carpet museum, the palace’s beautifully furnished three floors adorned with local 'shebeke' stained glass windows currently house a museum devoted to this eventful chapter in Azerbaijani history.

  • It is a 19th century Palace which has been well maintained and restored. It now houses a museum on 2nd floor. The best room to see is the middle room which has all glass work on its walls and ceiling....  more

  • This Khan Palace is literally 2 steps from Masoleum of Momine Hatun (main monument in Nackichevan) so you will visit it anyways. Palace is nice but unfortunately it was burned previously by Russina...

  • The Khan Nakhchivan Palace is located in the city of Nakhchivan in the Autonomous Republic of Nakhchivan in Azerbaijan and belongs to the 18th century The architectural style of this building is the Nakhchivan school of architecture, and it has now been turned into a museum. In this museum, I met Mr. Ramzi who was the museum guide, he very well introduced me to the different parts of the museum, since I don't know Turkish, Mr. Ramzi very patiently introduced me to the different parts. Khan Nakhchivan's house is located near Momena Khatun's tomb To reach Nakhchivan, we left Marand in the morning and left our car in the parking lot of Jolfa city. We entered the hall with our passports. After paying the exit fees and checking the documents, we crossed the Zero Border Zone on the bridge that was under the Aras River. We entered the territory of Nakhchivan, paid tolls there and arrived in Nakhchivan by taxi
  • the only place where you can buy souvenirs in Nakhitchevan, a very beautiful house in height from where you have a view of the old city and also the Islamic Republic of Iran. The rooms are quite large, well-lit with extraordinary stained-glass windows in multiple colours. Admission to this museum is also free. In one of the rooms we see traditional costumes that we still see worn when there are local festivals
  • The museum is regularly open even if it is not the real carpet museum which is nearby; it also exhibits carpets but also other metal objects, ancient weapons, porcelain and traditional costumes, well worth a visit.
