The Rahimabad Garden and Mansion is one of the historical and most interesting sights of Birjand in South Khorasan Province, dating back to the Qajar era. The complex is located on Pasdaran Street, Chehel-Metri 15, and was inscribed on Iran's National Heritage list on 22 Khordad 1379 under registration number 2707.
In terms of architecture and historical authenticity, the Rahimabad Garden and Mansion is a unique combination of a Persian garden and a two-storey building, consisting of a ground floor and a first floor. The complex has spacious halls, numerous rooms, a pool room (howzkhaneh), guard towers, and avenues lined with tall trees such as pine and poplar. One of the mansion's most distinctive parts is the Mirror Hall (Talar-e Ayeneh), with its stucco decoration, mirror work and lattice windows with arabesque (eslimi) patterns, which give the interior a special charm.
To get there, head from the center of Birjand toward Pasdaran Street until you reach the Rahimabad neighborhood; the complex is on Pasdaran Street, Chehel-Metri 15. The best time to visit is from spring to early summer, when the weather is milder and the garden is greener. Autumn is also especially appealing because of the colors of the leaves. During your visit, responsible nature tourism is very important: do not drop litter, respect the administrative and heritage rules of the complex, and avoid entering protected areas without permission.
