Ardal Bathhouse

🕰️When was it built?

Its exact construction date is unknown, but the building is attributed to the Qajar to early Pahlavi periods. It was nationally listed on 2 August 2005 under number 12420. A phase of restoration and improvement was completed in September 2015.

🏛️What was it built for?

Public bathhouses provided washing facilities and met everyday needs before private bathrooms became widespread. Keeping washing spaces warm and managing moisture matter in this type of building. This makes roof maintenance and drainage important parts of their conservation.

💡Something interesting

The restoration went beyond appearance. It included reducing structural loads, channel work and roof work. Maintaining the roof of an old building helps prevent further damage from water and moisture.

🎒Good to know before you go

• To see inside the bathhouse, ask local people or the custodian.
• Do not climb onto the roof or weakened areas, and avoid touching or wetting old walls.
