Just behind the tourist office kiosk, this fine reconstructed Ottoman house is decorated in traditional style, with recreated bridal room, weaving room, kitchen and so on filled with antique furniture, cooking implements and musical instruments. An old record player reminds us that the 20th-century Ottomans were very much part of the modern age. Mannequins model traditional Laz costumes from central Rize and Hemşin costumes from the Ayder region.
In the basement you'll find fine carved baroque and rococo furniture from Italy and near the entrance a serender, a traditional wooden granary on stilts.
