The historical İhlamur Kasri is a beautiful mansion placed among the linden trees. The purpose of its construction is a cute imperial resting house plan that will offer a resting area to the upper layer to drink a cup of coffee or, as the word İhlamur tea says, a cup of linden( İhlamur) tea. Sultan Abdulmecit built the mansion between 1849-1855 as a resting mansion, where he hosted some of his guests, including the French poet Lamartine.
İhlamur Kasri was originally a farm that Sultan Ahmed bought in the 18th century. It started as a place for target practice but soon became a place of entertainment for royalty.  The architect of this particular building is Nikagos Balyan from the Balyan family, the famous imperial architects of the period. Ihlamur Pavilion consists of two buildings; The ceremonial pavilion was reserved for ceremonies, and the Maiyet pavilion was reserved for the Sultan's Palace or Harem.
