description Village rooms, which are important elements of our national culture and meet the needs of the passengers coming to the village for various reasons, constitute examples of civil architecture where the residents of the village gather for social and cultural purposes. In the study which is aimed to identify and promote these structures which mostly have lost their importance and function at the present time, an investigation was conducted in the towns and villages of Gediz District of Kütahya Province. The village rooms in Gediz, which are the best representations of Turkish hopitality, a total of 25 village rooms including 3 in Güzüngülü Village, 3 in Işıklar Village, 2 in Yaylaköy, 2 in Polat Village, 3 in Cebrail District, 6 in Yeğinler Village, 2 in Yağmurlar Vilage, 3 in Yeşilova Village and 1 in Aşıkpaşa Village were identified on-site. The examples are introduced with the support of the layout and the photographs taken in 2019. After evaluating the buildings according to the number of floors, the upper floor plan, which includes the room in the form of the hospitality / gathering section, was examined and the characteristic architectural and decorative features were tried to be determined. Most of the examples, which are typically dated to the 1950s and 1960s, have lost their functions and they are unfortunately left to their fate. The aim hereby is to introduce the architectural and decorative characteristics of the village chambers, which are important with their feature of being a reception and gathering space, but mostly not used today, by means of written and visual documents, and emphasize their place in the Turkish folk architecture.
