Ihlamur Pavilion

Ihlamur Pavilion, which is located between the Besiktas and Nişantaşı, was built by Sultan Abdülmecit (1839-1861) to Nikogos Balyan. Nikogos Balyan built two buildings into a 24.724 square meters of wooded area, surrounded by high walls. These buildings are called Merasim Pavilion and Maiyet Pavilion. Merasim Pavilion is the main Ihlamur Pavilion.



The area where the crescents are located is known as "Hacı Hüseyin Bağları" in the 18th century, while it was transformed into a "Has Bahçe (beautiful Garden)" in the period of III. Ahmet (1703-1730). Sultan Abdülhamid (1774-1789) and III. Selim (1789-1807) also attracted interest in the period, the first half of the 19th century Sultan Abdulmecit used it for rest and guest hospitality. Abdülmecit built this big one between 1849 and 1855, replacing this simple and small one.

The Ceramics Mansion, which was originally designed for ceremonies and is now known as the Linden Gate, was built on a high basement with a cut stone, a rectangular plan and a single storey. In baroque lines, the decorations of the period reflect the motifs of the period. The maquis of the sultan, sometimes used by the harem and slightly beyond the Merasim Pavilion, was built as a two-storey and simpler building.

Sultan Mehmed Resat (1908-1918) occasionally used these pavilion and even welcomed some foreign guests here, although Sultan Abdulaziz, brother of Abdulmecit, who died at a young age, did not show much interest in these pavilions. During the Republican period, empty and neglected pavilions were given to Istanbul Municipality in 1951. The Governor of Istanbul and the Mayor Fahrettin Kerim Gökay established the Tanzimat Museum at Maiyet Mansion; In 1966 Merasim Mansion was serving as a museum-palace, Maiyet Mansion and a part of the garden as a cafeteria.

This garden was surrounded by the high walls a few years ago; they are replaced with white bars. Thus, the gardens and mansions have been included in the area, and the interest of the people has increased even more.
