Polonezköy, Polish settlement in Beykoz district, Turkey.
The village extends across forested hills on the Asian side of Istanbul, featuring traditional wooden houses and gardens spread over the rolling terrain.
Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski established this settlement in 1842 as a refuge for Polish emigrants following the November Uprising against Russian rule.
The Mother Mary Church and Polish Cemetery contain historical markers and graves that document the legacy of Polish settlers in this Turkish community.
The village provides accommodations in local hotels and pensions, while restaurants serve both Polish and Turkish dishes throughout the year.
Descendants of the original Polish settlers maintain their language and traditions while living alongside Turkish neighbors in this multicultural neighborhood.
