Qal'eh Dokhtar, Ferdows (Persian: قلعه دختر فردوس), also the Ghal'eh Kuh of Hasanabad (Persian: قلعه کوه حسن‌آباد), is a small ruined fortress located north west of Ferdows (Tun) and near the village HasanabadinSouth Khorasan Province, Iran. The fortress was used by the Nizari Ismailis of the Alamut period.[1]

It was connected to the nearby major stronghold of Ghal'eh Kuh of Ferdows and to the city of Tun itself via secret subterranean passages discovered after the 1968 Dasht-e Bayaz and Ferdows earthquakes.[2][3]

The fortifications of Tun were destroyed in May 1256 by the invading Mongols under Kitbuqa and Köke Ilgei.[4][5]
