Nashtifan windmills Khaf

The Nashtifan windmills are masterpieces of wind engineering in the heart of the desert, with their simple yet intelligent architecture, bearing witness to the ingenuity of Iranian builders. These ancient windmills are not only symbols of the advanced knowledge and technology of the ancestors but also narrators of the lifestyle and economy of the desert dwellers.

The windmills consist of two main parts: the lower floor, which is the storage place for wheat, and the upper floor, which houses the rotation of the blades and the millstone. When the wind blows, the blades start to move and turn the millstone to grind the wheat grains into flour. Iranian architects, by intelligently using native materials such as adobe, clay, and wood, have built a durable structure in harmony with the desert nature. Get the exact location.
