Amir Nasrullah madrasah was founded in 1860 by Amir Nasrullah Khan, the ruler of the Mangite Dynasty, who ruled Bukhara in Poyi Astana Guzar.[1] This madrasah is also mentioned in sources as Poyi Astana. Sharif Makhdum wrote in his work that the madrasah was built in the town of Kochqorbek in the month of Muharram 1277 Hijri (July-August 1860).[2] Historian Muhammad Mir Olim Bukhari wrote in his work that Amir Nasrul Khan built a madrasah near the grave of his father Amir Sa'id.
