Memorial House of Zofia Rizi, Historic house museum in Polonezköy, Turkey.
The Memorial House exhibits photographs, documents, and personal belongings that belonged to the Rizi family and other residents of Polonezköy through multiple generations.
Built between 1881 and 1883 by Wincenty Rizi, this Polish-style house served as a central meeting point for the Polish community in Istanbul until 1986.
The house contains memory books dating from 1916, filled with visitor notes that document experiences and connections between Polish and Turkish communities.
The museum welcomes visitors on weekends from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available through advance reservations.
The memorial house received official recognition when Zofia Rizi earned the Silver Order of Merit from the Polish State Council in 1975 for preserving Polish heritage.
