Büyük Mabeyn Köşkü, Ottoman palace reception hall in Beşiktaş, Turkey.
The Büyük Mabeyn Köşkü features ornate facades with composite capitals, columns, and a grand interior with crystal-railed staircases across two floors.
Built in 1866 by architect Sarkis Balyan for Sultan Abdulaziz, the building served as the administrative center during Sultan Abdulhamid II's reign from 1876 to 1909.
The structure maintains traditional Ottoman architectural elements, with the upper floor reserved for the sultan while other areas accommodated senior palace officials.
Located in the first courtyard of Yıldız Palace, visitors can access the building through the main entrance from Barbaros Boulevard in northern Istanbul.
The ground floor contains a Divanhanesi with a decorative pool, representing the formal reception area where important state affairs were conducted.
