Fin Garden History

The current Fin Garden building has been attributed to the era of Shah Abbas I and the Iranian cultural heritage considers Ghiaseddin Jamshid Kashani as this garden’s designer. However, academic sources designate Sheikh Bahai as this garden designer. Construction work on this garden continued during the reign of Shah Safi and Shah Abbas II and culminated. The entrances to the hall building, the Safavid Koshk and one of the baths were the product of this period. During the Karim Khan Zand period and several earthquakes, gardens and buildings were repaired and Karimkhani backyard was added. During the reign of Fath Ali Shah Qajar, many parts were added to the garden. Almost the rest of the buildings in Fin garden are all products of this era. During the Pahlavi period, the Kashan National Museum was built on the ruins of Nezam al-Dowleh, as a building between the library and bathrooms, and also other buildings were repaired.

From the viewpoint of architecture, Kashan Fin Garden has complied with all the standard principles of presence garden construction. What stands out most in this garden is the presence of water and trees, which are actually vibrant and fascinating elements of this place, and have been able to create interesting space alongside the Complex buildings as fixed architectural elements. One of the important pillars used in the design of this garden was the symmetry preservation, which was particularly important at that time, but was gradually diminished as the kings ruled the city. The most asymmetry in this garden also occurred during the Safavid period.

Howz Joosh (Boiling dock/pond)

In Kashan Fin garden, there are one hundred and sixty holes in the pond, each representing a flower of carpet. The function of these cavities is that if the first cavity acts as a spout, the second cavity performs water suction. Therefore, there are about eighty fountain holes and eighty suction holes in these ponds that help to equal inlet and outlet water to prevent overflow. Today, the overflow water of this pond passes through the garden paths.
