The Mausoleum of Sheikh Juneyd (Azerbaijani: Şeyx Cüneyd türbəsi) – is located in Hazra village of Qusar Rayon. Hazra village is not far from Azerbaijan’s border with Dagestan. From the history of the battle period between the Shirvanshahs and Ardabil sheikhs it is known, that Shaykh Junayd - grandfather of Shah Ismail I – perished in the battlefield with Khalilullah’s army in 1456 and was buried there. Construction of the mausoleum on his grave was carried out significantly later. A ligature on the northern façade of the complex evidences about it. Investigation of the building indicates that a part of the building, where the construction ligature is located now, has been attached to the building of the mausoleum later. Then it should be acknowledged that this ligature has been brought here from the main building during construction of the annex.
