Ataullah Efendi Sufi Lodge

The waqf deed of the Sufi Lodge was drawn up by the founder’s son-in-law and successor, Sheikh Ubeydullah Efendi of Amasya.
From 1868 onward, the Sufi Lodge passed to the Shabaniyya branch of the Khalwatiyya.
In 1905, when it was in a ruined condition, Mahmud Sırrı Pasha had the tevhidhane and tomb converted into masonry and had the Sufi Lodge revived.
After 1925, the function of the Sufi Lodge came to an end; the building remained abandoned and in time fell into ruin again.
In 1976, its tevhidhane was repaired by local residents for use as a mosque; in this process, additions such as a minaret and shadirvan were made, and the meşruta section disappeared.

The Sufi Lodge was also recorded under the names Mehmed Atâullah Efendi Sufi Lodge, Şeyh Atâ Efendi Sufi Lodge, Ubeydullah Efendi Sufi Lodge, and Ahmed Lütfi Efendi Sufi Lodge.
In historical records, the Sufi Lodge is located on the old mountain road route leading from Kanlıca to Kavacık and Göztepe.
The tevhidhane, tomb, and harem-selamlık sections are aligned as a single mass along Mihrâbad Avenue; the mass of the building is described with rubble-stone walls reinforced by brick bands and wooden roofs covered with tiles.
The tevhidhane has an octagonal plan; it is defined by a simple semi-circular mihrab and round-arched windows; door and window openings connect the tevhidhane to the tomb.
The projection on the upper floor of the harem-selamlık is associated with brick piers and two cast columns in the art nouveau style; this detail is a distinctive element that makes the stylistic diversity of the period visible in Sufi Lodge structures.
It is stated that the graveyard contains gravestones that are important in terms of late Ottoman grave design.
