Perili Köşk, Stone mansion in Rumelihisarı, Sarıyer district of Istanbul, Turkey.

The nine-story red brick mansion stands on the European shores of the Bosphorus, featuring stained glass windows and a total floor area of 5,000 square meters.

Ottoman business tycoon Yusuf Ziya Pasha initiated construction in 1911, but World War I halted progress when workers enlisted in the army, leaving parts unfinished.

The mansion houses Borusan Contemporary, displaying exhibitions focused on time, light, and technology, including works from international and Turkish artists on multiple floors.

The art museum opens Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 to 19:00, with adult entrance fees of 300 TL and student discounts available at 75 TL.

The building earned its name Perili Köşk, meaning Haunted Mansion, due to its incomplete second and third floors remaining empty for several decades.
