The stone mansion on Khan Square belonged to Khurshidbanu Natavan, daughter of the last Karabakh khan and a poet whose verses are still recited at school in Azerbaijan today. Two storeys of arched windows look out over the square, with a long upper-floor balcony where Natavan held her literary salon in the 1860s and 1870s.
The building was looted and burned during the early 1990s, restored in the 2010s, and is now a museum tracing Natavan's life and the cultural history of the khanate. The collection includes period furniture, manuscripts, and a small display of her writing in both Persian and Azerbaijani Turki.
