Its story
The building, also called the Balaban Mansion, is in the village of İnciğez, about 5 km from the Daday district center. Stated in sources to have been built in 1632, the mansion carries the Ottoman-period tradition of wooden decoration to the present day with its doors, ceilings and cupboards. It is said that poets and folk minstrels who were hosted in the mansion decorated the cupboards, doors and walls of the rooms with their own verses. Together with the rock tombs in the village, it is a suitable stop for seeing both the rural and historic fabric of the Daday area.
