Uzbek Dervish Lodge, Religious lodge and cemetery in Üsküdar, Turkey.

The Uzbek Dervish Lodge consists of multiple buildings dedicated to spiritual practices, featuring traditional Ottoman architectural elements and enclosed courtyards.

The lodge, constructed in the 1750s, served as a resting place for Central Asian pilgrims traveling to Mecca and underwent reconstruction in 1844.

The lodge maintains its function as a center for Nakşibendi order practices, where religious ceremonies and spiritual gatherings take place throughout the year.

Located on a hilltop in Sultantepe neighborhood, visitors can reach the lodge through local transportation from central Istanbul during designated visiting hours.

During the Turkish War of Independence, the lodge operated as a discrete passage point for arms and volunteers moving from Istanbul to Anatolia.
