Sardar Castle was built by Sardaar Aziz Khaan Mukri in 1868 (1285 a.h.) near the great reservoir of Bukan that is presently named after its founder as Sardar Azizkhan Castle.
The castle has been built on top of a hill 50×60 metres in diameter and 13 metres height and its main building materials are 20×20 cm bricks with gley mortar and timbers.
