Sadrzadeh Mansion

Khalatbari House, also known as the Sadrzadeh Mansion, is a historic Qajar-era building in the city of Sirjan, Kerman Province. This two-storey building stands in a lush garden of pistachio trees, and its wide shades protect the interior spaces from direct sunlight. For this reason, the mansion is considered an outstanding example of architecture in the hot, arid regions of Iran. This valuable building was registered on the Iran National Heritage List on 7 Mehr 1381 under registration number 6132.

The architecture of this mansion is a masterpiece and includes sections such as a stable, a bathhouse, a gavchah (ox-drawn well), a pool, a flower garden, a hoseyn-khaneh (pool room) and a shir-sangi (stone lion fountain), which clearly demonstrate the variety of uses within Qajar-era structures. With an area of roughly 2,000 square metres, the mansion has a tall wind tower, plasterwork decorations, murals, mirror work and muqarnas work, which give it a captivating appearance.

To reach the mansion, you can head from the Imam Reza neighbourhood of Sirjan to Panzdah Khordad Street (Valiasr 15), towards Mahdi Mow'ud Square. The building is located near Shahid Hadi Park, the Jahangardi Hotel and other city facilities, and is easily accessible by car or public transport. The mansion was purchased in 1396 by the Nazmavaran Industry and Mining Company of Golgohar, Sirjan, and restoration and conservation work began in 1398. The aim of the restoration is to turn the mansion into an iron ore industry museum, to be opened to the public once the conservation and restoration work is complete.
