Its story

Seyifler Castle is a defensive structure on one of the hills north of the Sakarya plain, thought to have been built in the Byzantine period to watch over the area. Today sections of wall and building foundations can be seen on the hill. The castle is reached by a short walk from the village, and from the hill there is a wide view of the plain and the surrounding forests. It is one of the region's lesser-known historic spots. Its quiet atmosphere suits a short walk of discovery.
