It was the site in 1624 of the election of the first imam of the Ya'ariba, Nasir bin Murshid bin Sultan, and served as the imamate's capital a number of times, controlling trade between Oman's coastal ports and the mountainous interior.

It was eventually bought by an English art historian Herbert Percy Horne, who restored the residence to what he determined was its original state.  He left it to the state after his death.
