Its story
The core of Devrekani's historic town fabric is formed by the hamam built in the name of İsmail Bey, the last bey of the Candarids, and the İsmail Bey Mosque right next to it. İsmail Bey ruled in Kastamonu in the mid-15th century, after which the region was incorporated into Ottoman territory. The hamam is said to be about 550 years old. Restoration projects aimed at its original function were approved by the conservation council in 2009, and in 2022 it was planned to convert the hamam into a venue where local products would be displayed and sold. The mosque and hamam can be toured together in the middle of the district bazaar.
