Nodir Devonbegi madrasa is a historical monument in the system of Samarkand State museum reserve.In 1986,it was inserted into the list of the historical buildings and was transferred to the system of Samarkand State museum reserve.

It was build by Nodir Mirzo Tog'ay Sulton ,devonbegi of Bukhara khanate in 1630-1635. As Nodir Devobegi madrasa is located next to the Xo'ja Ahrori Valiy tomb, it is called as Xo'ja Ahrori Valiy madrasa too.
