Kaymakamlar House Museum
Kaymakamlar Gezi Evi
One of the best-preserved traditional mansions in Safranbolu, with wax figures recreating Ottoman household scenes of receiving guests, weddings and daily life.
The mansion belonged to the family of an Ottoman lieutenant colonel and was built in the 19th century. It has a typical three-storey layout: a stone-built ground floor for stables and storage, and wooden upper living rooms with niches, built-in cupboards and a hidden bathroom, reflecting the ingenious design of Safranbolu houses. Inside, wax figures recreate receiving guests, weddings and kitchen work. Tickets cost several dozen lira. Next door there is a courtyard tea garden. It is about a 5-minute walk from the old town square.
