Historical Development: The paper house has taken this name with a stream in Istanbul pouring into the Golden Horn bay because of the presence of old paper mills in its valley. Apart from these mills in time; it is known that there are flour mills and Baruthouses, and in the Plain sections there are Cirit games and training areas for arrow shooting. In June 1530, the Sunnah weddings of Suleiman the Magnificent, Sehzade Mustafa and Sehzade Mehmet and Sehzade Selim, the sons of Kanuni Sultan, started at At Square and ended with a run on the Pagithane site after three weeks of attendance. The paper house was famous with its Tulips before the 18th century.Evliya Celebi wrote here (Lalezar Mesire), “Lale-i Day” famous for its “Paper house tulips”ism, “The time of the tulip is miserable.
The paper house 18th is 3.Sultan Ahmet’s Vizier Damat Nevsehirli was a saga of languages with the Tulip Age at the time of Ibrahim Pasha. 28.According to the plans of the Versailles gardens and mansions that Chelebi Mehmet Efendi brought from Paris, around the paper house creek there were made up of 60 Kasr and pavilions unique to the Sultans and the shores were arranged in the Black Tree. The sides of the stream are decorated with poplar and plane trees.The famous Kasr is referred to as “Sadabad. The creeks were made in the stream, and the candle holders were planted on the turtles at night and apprentices were started to be organized among the Tulip gardens. In those years, the Kagithane; Tulip fields, Pools, Fountains and Kiosks that appeared to be colored were the elements that complemented each other. The stories of the dazzling Paperhouse gardens and Kasrs have led to rumors among the people, especially the taking and walking of the entertainments. These appearances and works, which are also the subject of our literature, were demolished in the Patrona Halil Rebellion and turned into a flat area.
The time for the paper mill entertainment was spring. From Hidrellez, the people would fill this region with boats, with cars on holidays. The paper house was a place where many meetings were held, official visits and weddings were held.In 1808, Alemdar Mustafa Pasha invited Empire k Ayanhane and his wife are the famous “Sened-i” organization, gathering in the Paperhouse. There are almost no memories today from the Old Paperhouse.The Cascading and Imrahor Kasr during the 2nd World War were demolished, even carved marble pedestals and old engagement stones that provided the cascade in the stream, were also dismantled,today it has become a ruin 1481-1512 from the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire 2.The first population of the village of Kagithane, which was established with the Candereci Muhittinzade Foundation and which passed circuits as explained, started with settlements in the central neighborhood. The “Daye Hatun Mosque” that still faces the Municipal Square is from this era.
Many examples of wooden houses bearing the old historical structure still stand out. Today, “Sadabad Mosque”, which has come to the present day next to the old kasr, is found in the place where the School of Employment is built. The gardens and tombs of Sadabad are one of the important examples that reveal the integration characteristics arising from the Ottoman-Turkish society. Due to its natural features, the Paperhouse is one of the leading places where Istanbulites and Sovereigns come together with nature before the gardens of Sadabad are developed. Paper mill, which attracted the attention of Suleiman the Magnificent for the first time, 3.It started to be zoned with the Hurricane Sadabad built during the Ahmet period. As a matter of fact, the paper house and the Alibey streams towards Halic were parceled by the state on the shores of the Kagithane and the Paperhouse became a summer rest site with elegant pavilions and beautiful gardens built on the land given to the elders of the period and exceeding 170.
Surrounded by the extensive promenade used by the people, this community of hurricanes merged with the Sadabad Palace and garden to become the garden and water city of Subyan Mektebir, which included a number of beautiful landscapes from Halic to the village of Kagithane. Thus, in terms of landscape architecture in Ottoman history, we encounter a phenomenon such as the development of a certain part of the city in a planned form and for recreation in a short time period. In this development, “Lale DevrTnde, the passion for nature and garden has reached the public by crossing its limits. In that period, the developments in the art departments of the varieties of our general culture took an important place in garden art. As previously mentioned, a small part of the Sadabad Tornadoes and gardens, which became a wreck with the Patrona Halil rebellion 3.Sovereigns after Ahmet and especially 1.Mahmud,3.Selim and 2.Mahmoud was repaired on time. But it never reached the maturity of structure and spirit in the Tulip era.2.Sadabad, which was repaired by Mahmut and called “Caller of Cascade”, was demolished in the 1940s and a military school was built.
On this day, there are a few pieces left from marble bowls and bowls that make marble-clad canals and summoners, one of the most important features of the famous garden. The base of the paper mill valley, which is a natural meadow, was a view that emerged by following the waterfront and vegetation as well as the creek lengths like a cord. The hornets, sycamore, alder, willow, juniper trees were covered with communities of steep ridges and hills.maki, etc., which surrounded the naturally clustered valley. Bodur, Oak that does not shed its leaf, Wild gum, funda, laurel, Laden, her husband, mule nail, fire thorn,erguvan, gang, etc. the majority of them were reminded of the leafy forest trees that form the extension of the Belgrade forests, which are located in this customs texture, where they are green macis. Papers and Alibeykoy 3.Until the time of Ahmet, it was a public arena of rest and entertainment, and after a country feast given by Sadrazam Ibrahim pasha in 1717, it was a wonderfully beautiful valley,3.He was of special interest to Ahmet. 17.According to one of our famous travelers who lived in the middle of the century, Evliya Celebi, The paper house was a place of unprecedented occupation among Arab,Acem,Indian, Yemen and Habish, namely African and Asian travelers.
Some people even went to the paper mill and swam. In historical perspective, the types of regration in the Paperhouse garden and in the residences reflect the social and cultural characteristics of the revolution. After the construction of the paper house, Sadabad and other Kasrs, and after this place was a favorite resting place, the Monarch and State elders started in the new palace (Ciragan entertainments), it was transferred here. In particular, the arrival of the Monarch in Sadabad would have caused a great ceremony and festivities. Horse races, javelin games, wrestling, musical, poetic fun. For the people, the hostages would have a distinct beauty and charm on these special days. They would swim in the creek lengths, which the greenery surrounded like a cord, and roam with a boat. The nurses would be a musical and colorful adventure in this cool and colorful decor for the public. One of the most important witnesses of the paper house was the poet Nedim.
“Let’s give a speech, shi Dil-i nashadeh, pidelim serv-i revanim walk to Sa’dabad, Here’s three pairs of kayak kayak amade, Let’s go to salv-i revanim walk to Sa’dabad.” The Baruthane in the paper house is much older than 2.It was established during the time of Beyazid; it was converted to Kaggir during the Kanuni period and covered with lead. Baruthane, 1.It continued its production until the time of Abraham. 1955 With a population of 3084, the paper mill also began development after 1955.The village of 3 paper mills has a population of about 2355. These neighborhoods ; a-Upper neighborhood (Paper house primary school district) ,b-Central Neighborhood (Camiin part), c-Down Neighborhood (Peaceary-Silkey road) were managed by village muhtarage until 1 March 1963, development began in the Pernala district (Kemerburgaz road) in the North West of the slaughterhouse.At the decision of an association in 1953, Caglayan and Hurriyet neighborhoods were established and the house was distributed to the burning in 1934.
The settlement, which started with 45 households first, has increased over time and is being nationalized in a wide range of zoning movements in Istanbul before 1960, due to various road expropriations, In the districts of Celiktepe and Ortabayir, the people were given place by the General Directorate of housing and planning in Istanbul and thus the core of these neighborhoods was laid. As mentioned before the settlement within the boundaries of the Paper Mill, although it started in the center, without much development, Caglayan, Celiktepe and the continuation of the Industrial Neighborhood started to settle intensely on their backs. Today, Paperhouse County consists of 19 neighborhoods.
