Dosangi Mill near Maybod is the deepest water mill under the ground which is unique in the world. Moreover, it also has some architectural unique features which make it special such as underground rooms, their placement on the crossed way of two main qanat tunnels, and etc.
Dosangi water mill of Meybod (Asiab Dosangi) is located in a village named Mohammad-Abad near Meybod. It is about 300 years old dating back to Safavid era.
Dosangi Mill is the deepest water mill under the ground which is unique in the world. Moreover, it also has some architectural unique features which make it special such as underground rooms, their placement on the crossed way of two main qanat tunnels, and etc.
One of the most essential features of the mill is that it is built underground and no similar match to it has been found yet. The watermill is situated on confluence of the qanats (subterranean aqueducts) so that it is important from hydraulics point of view.
This water mill has a corridor with the length of 140 meters and lies in a depth of 40 meters under the ground. It is very cold and pleasant. This masterpiece has been built by creative and intelligent people of Meybod who did it all by hand. No construction material has been used in the construction of this water mill. There are wells with a depth of 40 meters below it that provide the lighting and air conditioning of the interior space of the mill.
The stones installed in the mill are very hard and solid made of a combination of acid and volcanic roots and they were brought from Mount Ernan. After rolling and polishing, these rocks were mounted on two donkeys and were installed in their current position with specific ceremonies. The entrance path of Dosangi Mill starts from behind the wall of Mohammad-Abad village and after passing a 2-meter long slope below the wall, it enters the inner staircase of a vestibule and goes to a four-door chamber.
