During the khanates period of Azerbaijan, which occurred after the collapse of the Shirvanshah state in the 17th century, Baku khans lived in this palace.

Prior to the reconstruction, only the entrance portal and a small restored mosque had survived, while the underground bathhouse in the lower part of the fortress walls in the territory of the Khans' palace still remained unearthed.

The Official Administration of State Historical-Architectural Reserve "Icherisheher" informed media that they had no whatsoever intentions to repair the palace.
