The climatic diversity in Mazandaran province has resulted in the development of distinct spaces for the production and utilization of livestock, each with unique physical and functional characteristics. Gesansereh and Telar are two spatial elements utilized by local communities in Mazandaran Mountain and Angehroud Noor village. The research aims to document the architectural and cultural characteristics of these elements. Factors such as immigration and the shift from traditional livestock farming to industrial systems have led to the decline and neglect of this native heritage. The article's purpose is to introduce the native heritage related to animal husbandry using a descriptive-analytical research method. The results of the research demonstrate that Telar is a traditional structure used for livestock in the winter, while Gesansereh is used for milking sheep and producing dairy products in the summer. Each structure has a unique architecture based on its function, containing indigenous knowledge related to animal health, social systems, and cultural traditions related to local food and product production. They are considered part of Iran's pastoral and agricultural heritage and have a significant relationship with geographical livelihood and sustainable development.
