Borujerdi House
خانه بروجردیها
A merchant’s mansion built in 1857, with three towering wind towers and murals in its domed hall. These are Kashan’s iconic images.
Borujerdi House was built by the merchant Borujerdi for his marriage to a daughter of the Tabatabaei family. According to legend, it took 18 years to complete. It was also designed by the architect Ali Maryam. Its most striking features are three wind towers, each 40 m high, which use wind pressure to cool the hall naturally. Beneath the dome of the main hall are murals painted by a Qajar-era artist and fine stucco reliefs. The symmetrical composition of the rectangular courtyard and pool is very photogenic. A joint ticket with Tabatabaei House may be available; check on site.
