The Mud Icehouse in Khalilabad County, Iran, is a yakhchal—a traditional ice storage structure—built in the Qajar architectural style and designated as an Iranian National Heritage site. Standing 12 meters tall, the structure was constructed from adobe, cob, and wood, materials well-suited to Iran's climate for thermal regulation and ice preservation. Such icehouses were essential features of pre-modern Persian infrastructure, designed to store ice and snow through hot summers for domestic and commercial use.
