This castle, located in the city of Khomein, dates back to the Qajar era and is architecturally and structurally significant. The architectural style, decorations, and interior space, along with the building's framework and the type of materials used, make it a unique architectural masterpiece. Evidence suggests that the castle's original area was much larger than its current state.

Currently, the structure has high walls on all four sides, with a decorative feature called "Kolāh Farangi" (a Persian-style pavilion) on the southern wall, forming the main courtyard and building. The main building consists of several interconnected rooms, with the interiors adorned with shelves, plaster statues, and floral motifs. One room displays documents and photographs of the Ali Khan Kamarei family, also known as Salar Mohtasham, decorating its walls.

In front of the rooms, there is a large veranda connected to the courtyard by stairs on both sides. The exterior of the main building is particularly striking, featuring beautiful stucco columns and ornate doorways.
