The Moayedi Icehouse is a Safavid-era yakhchal (traditional ice storage structure) located in Kerman County, Iran. Built from adobe and mud, the structure rises to a height of 20 meters and exemplifies the distinctive architectural style of Safavid Iran. Designed to preserve ice and snow through insulation techniques refined over centuries, the yakhchal represents an ingenious pre-modern solution to climate control in arid regions. The building has been designated as an Iranian National Heritage site in recognition of its cultural and architectural significance.
