Traditional Kuzguncuk Houses

About Traditional Kuzguncuk Houses

Traditional Kuzguncuk houses are colorful wooden homes located in the Uskudar district on the Asian side of Istanbul.

These 19th and early 20th-century structures reflect Ottoman-era residential design, often featuring bay windows, narrow facades, and tiled roofs.

The neighborhood was historically home to Muslim, Jewish, and Christian communities, giving it a unique cultural blend.

Preserved for their charm and heritage, the houses line peaceful streets shaded by trees, offering a glimpse into Istanbul’s past.
