September 2, 2025The Abbasian House is a well-known landmark in Kashan and is considered a masterpiece of Iranian architecture. As a result, it is popular with both local and international tourists. This historic home is a Qajar era edifice that was erected over a 20-year period by Haj Mohammad Ibrahim, a tile dealer and one of Kashan's most well-known porcelain and crystal merchants. Construction began in 1245 AH. This massive mansion, which covers 5,000 square meters and has a base of 7,000 square meters, has five courtyards and five stories. The Abbasid historical complex consists of five courtyards and a garden pit that, following the death of the original owner, are gradually split to become five individual dwellings.
Among the most visible and significant aspects of this historical landmark are the plaster and painting embellishments, formalization, moqrans, Yazdi binding, and knot crafting, which, at their height of beauty and elegance, dazzle the eyes of every spectator. So far, four portions of this home have been acquired and refurbished, two of which have been retained as a garden pit, a two-story house with a covered courtyard, and a classic courtyard-style house. The fundamental distinction between this home and houses like Tabatabaei and Borujerdi is the form of structure, which appears to protrude from the centre of the earth; the first story is below ground level.
The Abbasian House in Kashan, despite its unpretentious and basic entry, impresses every visitor with the height of art and architecture inside. This mansion was created introverted to accommodate the region's hot and dry environment, and its size is so huge that you may lose your way while exploring. Furthermore, careful attention has been devoted to the practical features of the areas; for example, there is a separate space for hanging the meat so that “the cat cannot access it”.
