Hamame Sheikh Bahai in Iran

The bath of Sheikh Bahai is located in a small street named after him in the southern section of the old bazaar close to the Masjed-e-Jomeh.The bathroom derives its principal fame from the story that it was warmed by a single candle ,which was placed in a closed space and never needed renewing.

.....The most famous of these was a bath called Hammam-e-Bahai (the bath of Bahai). Regardless of the time of the year, the water in the bath was always lukewarm. In their curiosity to find out how it worked, the British destroyed the bath several centuries later. To their surprise, they discovered only a small candle burning below the water reservoir, which had somehow managed to keep the water temperature steady for over 250 years!


The candle was rather larger than the ones we use on tables, and the clay pipes which circulated the water became unusable many years ago. According to his own instructions, the candle's fire would be put out once disclosed. This happened during the restoration and repair of the building and no one could make the system work again.

@k1k2k11 It already has that status, search youtube for "Sheikh Bahai Bath (English)" and you'll see. Even though its private property it is a registered national monument and the private owners gave the government permission to maintain upkeep and maintenance.

very beautiful house which is part of Iranian Heritage and must be purchase by the Government to keep as Historical Building and be allowed for all visitors to visit the house freely. At present time is a private property and shall not be allowed to be continued. Perhaps the best owners can do may sell it to Government with especial permission to live on it until they want.
