description The conservation process of any building has a strong relationship with the historical heritage value of that building. The goal of this research is to figure out how the conservation process affects historical values in developing countries. The study raises issues about the traditional definition and conceptualization of 'conservation’, asking for additional study on the problem and active participation in conservation efforts, based on the reality of emerging axis to the treatments and architectural laws. Following the documentation of literature, a case study with an analytical description was observed in this qualitative study to better understand the reality of the conservation process in Iraqi Kurdistan. The structure achieves rejuvenation, sustainability, and the region's highest historical, architectural, social, cultural, economic, and tourism potentials with an introduction to specific suggestions to perform the conservation process using engineering and scientific approaches. The general aims and solutions for conserving Sherwana's historic castle have been proposed. The cultural legacy of an area reflects the nation's identity and culture. It also depicts the link between the past, present, and future. That architectural history must be protected, safeguarded, and modernized to meet the demands of today, through the active understanding and perception between academic and professional offices involved in architectural preservation.
