In 1969, a structure designed by the Dutch architect S.J. of Embden was built on the place where in 1922, during the summer school, Inayat Khan reported having a 'spiritual experience' and proclaimed the place holy.[4][5]

Every year, the 'Sufi summer school' takes place in this shrine, and many Universal Sufis from around the world visit the shrine each summer.[6]

The Universal Worship Service, brotherhood days and other meetings take place in the shrine as well as several traditional music concerts.[7]

The building is a simple square in basis and the cupola is golden.[8]
