Ali Akbar Shah Tork was a renowned mystic and spiritual leader in the region. His shrine features a pyramid-shaped dome and a beautiful stepped entrance facing north and south. It has two covered iwans (porticoes) on the north and south sides with arched ceilings, each measuring approximately 7 by 3.05 meters, later extended with brick ceilings without any decorations.

The shrine includes an octagonal chamber with recessed, mihrab-shaped walls and royal platforms (shahneshin) on the eastern and western sides. Each of the four sides has large, similarly designed niches with simple plaster decorations and vase motifs. The tomb lies at the center without a zarih (shrine enclosure), and its thick walls, over one meter, are built from adobe, mud, brick, and mortar. Adjacent to the shrine once stood a khanqah (Sufi lodge) and a dhikr house, now completely destroyed. The structure dates back to the Safavid era and was partially renovated during the Qajar period. Surrounding the shrine is a large cemetery primarily containing graves of the Alidousti, Mohammadi, Ghanbari, Tabatabai, and Tajik families.

There is no known genealogical record of Shah Ali Akbar.

This traditional five-door house is divided into several parts: a hall, iwan (veranda), two kitchens, shahneshin (noble seating area), windcatcher (badgir), cellar, and storage rooms. Currently owned by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), it has served as a filming location for various productions. It is under

restoration for future use as a filming location and eco-tourism residence.

This five-door manor includes a shahneshin, kitchen, a large hall, a beautiful and tall terrace, and two high windcatchers for ventilation and cooling during summer.
