Castles were built to protect people from damages of the enemy in the past, or even to protect important roadways. 20 kilometers northeast of Garmsar in the Bankouh area, there is a thousand years old castle. Stonvand Castle is on the main road of Garmsar to Mazandaran near the Hableh River and on top of a high mountain that Masmaghan war happened there in the past. Wherever there is a river, there will be civilization. In the construction of the Stonvand Castle in Garmsar, like other castles, there has been a great deal of attention to the inaccessibility to the castle, so as the result, the access to the Castle of Stonvand is not easy. You can easily control the entire area and all the passages around by standing on the ramparts that are built to monitor and protect the castle. The castle was repaired and restored due to its strategic positioning at the time of the Ismailian. According to rural historians, there was a village with name of Stonavand that there is no detailed information about its location.
