History
The Said Mahruyjan complex was built on the territory of the "Chadirli Eshon" cemetery. In 1884, near the mausoleum built on the grave of Said, according to the order of the Khan of Khiva at that time, Muhammad Rahim Khan II (Feruz), the complex was erected in its current form.

2 madrasahs, a mosque, a shrine and a mausoleum have been preserved in the territory of the complex. Madrasas were built by Said Muhammad Khan and Muhammad Rahim Khan II. There is the mausoleum of Said Islamkhoja to the right of the entrance to the complex. Said Mahruyjan was buried in a small domed mausoleum inside the madrasa, and a large domed room can be accessed from the shrine in front of the madrasa. The graves of Said Muhammad Khan (1821–1864), Muhammad Rahim Khan II (1845–1910) and his grandson Temurgozi Tora are also located there

The complex was completely renovated in 2008–2009, and the tiling and decoration works, which were planned and not implemented during the khanate period, were also completed.
