Atatürk Köşk

Atatürk Köşk is a two-story wooden villa in Ortahisar featuring ornate architectural details and multiple exhibition rooms. The rooms contain period furnishings and artifacts from the early 20th century arranged throughout the space.

The villa was built in 1912 and served as a summer retreat before becoming a museum in 1987. This transformation preserved the building as a record of an important historical period.

The villa displays personal belongings and photographs that reflect how Turkish leadership lived during the nation's modernization era. These objects give visitors a sense of daily life in that transformative period.

Visitors can explore the furnished rooms with guided tours and see the maintained gardens around the building. The museum is managed by the Trabzon Metropolitan Municipality and easily accessible to guests.

Each room maintains the original furniture arrangement from visits to the property, including a personal study with writing materials and books. This layout offers a direct sense of how the private spaces were actually used.
