Borujerdi Historical House

Borujerdiha historical house

One of the most beautiful and famous houses in Kashan is Boroujerdi Historical House, which is located in Sultan Mir Ahmad neighborhood.

This traditional house was built by a famous businessman named Haj Seyyed Jafar Natanzi (with a Borujerdi descent) who imported goods from Borujerd in Lorestan province. Despite the popular belief, this house did not belong to people coming from Borujerd; in fact, the owner of the house who was originally from Natanz (a city near Kashan) had commercial trades with the merchants from Borujerd. Borujerdi Historical House is built on a land with an approximate area of 1700 square meters, including andaruni (private quarter) and biruni (public area). Borujerdi Historical House is designed and constructed in accordance with the climatic conditions of Kashan desert region, in a way that in the extreme heat of summer, very cool and pleasant air flows naturally and permanently into the cellars through the windcatchers located on the roof. It should be mentioned that one of the main reasons for the fame of Borujerdi Historical House is its wind catchers.

Based on the inscriptions found in the building, the construction of this house seems to have begun in 1875 by Ostad Ali Maryam; its construction lasted 18 years and was completed in 1892. He was one of the architectural geniuses of Kashan and one of the famous designers of the building who was involved in creating two other historical monuments of Kashan, Tabatabai Historical House near Boroujerdi Historical House and Amin Al-Dawlah Timcheh located in Bazaar. The Cultural Heritage Organization acquired the outer part of the building called biruni in 1934 and now andaruni is privately owned.
