Burge (Burj) Binyamina is a ruined stone-built structure in the Sharon Plain 1 km south of Binyamina from the Ottoman period, situated at a crossroads and believed to be either a mansion connected to an estate, a fortified farmhouse, or a khan (caravanserai). On October 26, 1898, German Kaiser Wilhelm II stayed at the Burj khan building during his visit to the Holy Land. Turkish owner, Sidki Pasha, brother of Jamal Pasha, sold 4,000 dunams of the Burj farmland to Jewish Association (IA) in 1903. The serious drawback was that most of the land was an uncultivable swamp. Rothschild turned the land over to Binyamina's holdings. Initially a group of farmers from Zichron Yaakov stayed at the khan during the week, due to the distance to their hometown. The group was called Burja’im.
