ALMAN KONSOLOSLUĞU Yazlık Rezidansı
/ The SUMMER RESIDENCE of the GERMAN CONSULATE
Abdülhamit II, who is also
known as the Red Sultan, had passed his adolescence years in this
mansion. He had later given it as a present to Kaiser Wilhelm
against his acceptance of re-establishing the navy of the Ottoman
Empire.
This group of houses were
designed by the Belgian architect Cingra, and located in Tarabya,
whose name is derived from the fact that this location was a center
for therapy. These buildings have an orchard of approximately 45
acres, and it is one of the greenest spots in the Bosphorus.
