The Shamkhal bathhouse is a bath built in 1883, located in the Xunxar quarter, in the historic part of the village of Maştağa, in Azerbaijan. It owes its name to a resident of Maştağa known as Shamkhal bey. After the Soviet occupation, the interior of the bath was altered and its original historic appearance was destroyed. Since independence, the bath has remained unused.
