Castles have been build in Kurdistan since ancient times, but most Kurdish castles were built in the Middle Ages by various Kurdish states, like the Ayyubids, Zands and the Soran Emirate.
A Kurdish castle is a castle which was built by Kurds or built under a Kurdish dynasty (this includes castles in which the builders were most likely Kurds).
