Morvarid Palace

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Morvarid Palace is a palace built by Shams (a royalty of the Pahlavi dynasty) in the 1960s. It is located near Hesarak and Mehrshahr, in the western suburbs of Karaj, Iran.

The palace was designed by The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

The majority of the complex is currently occupied by a local Baseej chapter who are neglecting its upkeep. Small parts are open to the public as a result of pressure from the Cultural Heritage Organization of Iran.

The building was recognized as a cultural value only in 2002, and registered by the Cultural Heritage Organization of Iran. It is currently in need of massive repairs.
