Abu al-Hassan al-Kharaqani (963-1033) was a renowned Sufi master whose students include the likes of Khwaja Abdullah Ansari (1006–1088). His mausoleum is located 24 kilometers outside of Shahroud inside a garden. The original mausoleum was a simple brick structure that was replaced by a new one in 1974.
There was once a mosque attached to the mausoleum of Sheikh Abu al-Hassan which had a conical dome with elaborate tilework. Only the Mihrab (prayer niche) of the mosque stands today. This Mihrab has beautiful stucco reliefs and a stucco inscription. Before the 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran, another mosque was built around this Mihrab.
Today, the complex includes a library, which houses reference books on mysticism, and rooms where pilgrims can stay.
