Qilichboy Madrasa was built in 1914 during the reign of Said Olimkhan with the efforts of a rich and influential person named Qilichboy. Master Sharof Bukhari participated in the construction of the building. [4]
In some sources, it is also written that the mausoleum was built in 1911. [5]

The structure of the mausoleum is similar to the style of Bek Mir Qazaq Madrasa. However, it is relatively small in size.
Today, Qilichboy Madrasa operates as a museum. [6]
Qilichboy Madrasa served as a school for young students from nearby areas in the first years.
From 1925 to 1938, this institution was used as a prison. The Jadids, writers, and ordinary people who were captured in Kashkadarya and nearby regions were interrogated and imprisoned here. The teachers and students of the madrasa were also arrested. In 1938, the prisoners were transferred to another place, and the madrasa started to operate only as a prison. In 1950, teachers and ordinary people who were relocated from various regions of the USSR started to live here. [2] [5]
In 2021, the madrasa was renovated by the cultural heritage administration and a library and museum were established in this area. The museum and library are affiliated with the Golden Heritage Foundation. [2]
