Turkeye, Rural hamlet in Sluis, Netherlands
The settlement of Turkeye stretches along the Waterlandkerkje-IJzendijke road, containing about 20 houses predominantly used as vacation residences.
After the conquest of Sluis in 1604, Prince Maurits established fortifications named Groot Turkeijen, Klein Turkeijen, and Constantinopel, from which the hamlet derived its name.
The village houses display signs with Turkish phrases and maintains connections with Turkish communities through regular visits from Turkish delegations and dignitaries.
The hamlet contains 20 to 30 inhabitants, with many properties serving as holiday homes for German and Belgian residents.
Monique Sturm transformed part of her house into a Turkish museum, showcasing items collected from Turkey during her 30 years as a volunteer Turkish ambassador.
