"The impressive castle on a hill in the middle of a luxurious park at the end of Jade Darulaman was designed for King Amanullah by the French architect, M. Godard, to house the Parliament and the Secretariat. It was, however, never used for its intended purpose and is currently (1977) occupied by the Ministry of Justice." (An Historical Guide to Afghanistan by Nancy Hatch Dupree}
