Shukur bey mansion - It is a two-storeyed mansion built from natural lime stones in front of a mosque in Qochahmedly village of Fuzuli region. Octagonal pillars (and semicircular arches on them) in the open veranda resembles to those in Govheragha Mosque. Shaved from three separate stones, the pillars have different colors from the natural limestone. This greenish marble-like stone is produced in neighboring Bulutan quarry. Metal layer, which is in the connection point of the delicate and proportionate pillar in the veranda and kapitel part, involves attention. Metal layer (3-4 cm) was melted and split to there when assembling the pillars. Lead layer on the ground is intended as isolation against humidity. Semicircular cover construction in the Shukur bey mansion recalls the covers of the buildings in Shusha. There are niches of different sizes on the flank walls supporting the arches. As seen from the roofing, the architect has repeated the wide veranda of the ground floor in the second floor. But while the veranda of the ground floor has been built as a stone pillar and semicircular arch, pillar and cover construction of the second floor have been completed with wooden materials in light construction by Karabalai Sefikhan. There are two inscriptions between the two arches of the ground floor. According to the inscriptions, Shukur bey mansion was built in 1909.
