Shotorgalu Mansion in Astaneh Square in east of Mahan, belonging to the family of Razavi Nematollahi, has been constructed with a total area of 5382 square meters in the late Qajar period. Shotorgalu is the name of a traditional aquatic structure that used the architectural approach to handle water when faced with obstacles. The name of this method is due to the similarity of the form of the water transfer channel to the camel's throat. Shotorgalu Mansion has two parts, Shahneshin and the Indoor, and in the past there were also two wind catchers.

One of the interesting features of the house is the constant flows of water in the yard.
