Merkez, Kütahya
The semahane of the Kütahya Mevlevi Lodge, with origins going back to the 14th century; today used as the Dönenler Mosque.
Its story
The Kütahya Mevlevi Lodge (Mevlevihane) is believed to have been founded in the 14th century, in the Germiyanoğulları period; its first known sheikh was Celaleddin Ergun Çelebi. With the addition of cells, a kitchen and a semahane (ceremonial hall), it became one of the important Mevlevi lodges of its time. Repaired in 1841–42 and 1887–89, the building has been used as the Dönenler Mosque since a major restoration in 1959.
