Ხანის სასახლე, Royal palace in Lankaran, Azerbaijan.

The three-story residence features French architectural elements combined with oriental design patterns, including mythological figures adorning its facade.

Mir Ahmad Khan commissioned the palace in 1913 to honor his wife Tugra, who won a beauty contest in Tbilisi as Miss Caucasus.

The building exhibits French and Azerbaijani architectural approaches, incorporating classic Baroque elements with traditional Eastern construction methods.

The Lankaran History and Ethnography Museum now occupies the palace, displaying over 7,000 artifacts that represent the region's heritage.

The palace established new standards in the region as the first multi-story building in Lankaran, featuring electric lighting and heating systems.
