Hazeranlar Mansion

Located in Yalıboyu, the Hazeranlar Mansion is a remarkable example of 19th century civil architecture that still stands today. Constructed in 1865 by Hasan Talat Efendi to honor his sister Hazeran Hanım, the mansion has a long history of being lived in and is considered a prestigious place.

The mansion is a fine example of Ottoman civil architecture, featuring four iwans and a central-sofa. Its layout includes separate sections for women (haremlik) and men (selamlık), as well as an inner courtyard. The first restoration of the mansion began in 1979 and was completed in 1983, after which it was opened to the public as a museum house.

The Hazeranlar Mansion is home to 984 ethnographic artifacts on display, such as carpets, kilims, kitchenware, and women's jewelry that offer a glimpse into life during the 19th century. Notably, there are carpets with inscriptions, traditional caftans embroidered with metal thread (bindallıs), and silver and gilded jewelry that are particularly significant in reflecting the era to which they belong. Today, the upper floors of the mansion are dedicated to the museum-house, while the basement houses an art gallery.
