History [ edit ]

The dome of the mausoleum

The site of the complex was originally a Seljuk era building. Later on in the 15th century, the Timurid dignitary, Khwaja Zaynuddin, built a religious complex centred around the grave of his brother, Khwaja Tajuddin, who was the minister of the Qara Qoyunlu emir, Jahan Shah . [2] He built a khanqah, mosque and madrasah there as well. However, both the mosque and madrasah do not exist anymore except for the shrine. [1] The building was abandoned in the Safavid era, until 1959 when it received renovations from the daughter of the Chief-of-Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces , Hassan Firouzabadi . [3]

Burials [ edit ]

Aside from Khwaja Tajuddin, two other saints, Shahzadeh Ishaq and Shahzadeh Abu Talib are buried there. [2] [1] They were the sons of Hamzah ibn Musa who was buried in Tabriz at the Imamzadeh Hamzah . One of the mystics from the Nimatullahi order, Hajj Mullah Mohammad Hasan Qutb al-Natanzi, is buried in the remains of the khanqah. [1] Hassan Firouzabadi's daughter, who renovated the mausoleum in 1959, is also buried here. [3]
