| Summary: | Due to the fact that the concept of visiting sacred places exists in Turkish culture and Islam, as in
many other belief systems, the importance of beliefs and practices related to tombs, entombed saints
and places of visit increase; and stories of extraordinary behaviours related to the lives of saints, awliyās, erens and dedes are brought along. In this context, the mausoleum, known as Seydisül, is among
the places to go to ask for children, to eliminate infertility, to help grumpy kids behave, to overcome
fear or a disaster, to make a cow give more milk and to make ill tempered animals well behave.
Seydisül Mausoleum in Altıntaş District of Kütahya province, which has been known for its quarries
since ancient times, is open to visitors today. Within the scope of this study, the architectural presentation and decoration features of the tomb are emphasized and an evaluation is made. Up-to-date
photographs, plan drawings and decoration drawings were used in the promotion of the building.
With the introduction of the tomb, which is dated to the end of the 19th century and the beginning of
the 20th century with its architectural and ornamental features, it is aimed to contribute to the field of
architectural history by settling its place within the Anatolian Turkish Architecture.
The Seydisül Mausoleum, which draws attention with the spolia materials in the tomb facades and
the burial it is in, has a square prism body. Despite its plain plan, the structure is important with its dome core, dome skirt, door and window decorations, and painting techniques on dry plaster on the
south facade wall. It is seen that “S-C” fold, curtain motif and flower arrangements are included in
the decoration. |
