THE DOCUMENTATION AND RESTORATION PROPOSAL FOR DEDE SULTAN TURKISH BATH LOCATED IN KASTAMONU, TURKEY

Abstract

In this study the restoration proposal has been given the Dede Sultan Turkish bath found in
the province of Kastamonu, Turkey. At the same time while the bathing culture of Kastamonu
and the province Kastamonu itself was mentioned, it also has given general information on
the architecture of a Turkish bath. In the study of historical structures of Turkish baths, a
problem we face is what might be considered as restoration decisions, were only given in
consideration only to the Dede Sultan Turkish bath. The building is already being used as a
Turkish bath, and it will be brought to its original state and will continue to be used as it is. At
the end of the study when a restoration project is drawn, it aims to show research on what
kind of decisions can be given for structures such as these. At the same time it also aims to
bring light on how the Dede Sultan Turkish bath can be properly and accurately be repaired.
