House of Shakikhanovs
Şəkixanovların evi
A private mansion of descendants of the Khan family, with stained glass and murals rivaling the Khan's Palace. It is quiet and allows close viewing.
The House of Shakikhanovs is the late 18th-century residence of descendants of the Sheki Khan family. It is smaller than the Khan's Palace but has an entire wall of shebeke stained glass, fine floral murals, and stalactite-style niches. Few visitors come, and guides explain the stained-glass craft. Admission is a few manats. It is in the Old Town below the fortress, about a five-minute walk from the Khan's Palace, so it is easy to visit on the way.
Opening hours
About 09:00–18:00
