Narin or Narenj Castle is a Parthian (247 BC–224 CE) structure and one of the oldest structures in the historical texture of Naein. It is believed that the castle was originally a Fire Temple which was converted into a military fortress and the city was developed and expanded around it.

This mud brick castle had towers on every corner and was encircled by a moat in ancient times. It is believed that the castle, which is partially damaged, was still in use until the Qajar (1785-1925). The castle has been registered as a National Heritage Site.
