Its story
The building, also known by its former name of Babik Madrasa, is in the village of Çukurluhoca in the interior of Çayeli and is thought to have been built around 1870. The lower floor of the two-story madrasa is built of cut stone, and the upper floor with the timber cladding technique. The presence of many hearths on the lower floor, with windows above them, suggests that this floor was used as a kitchen where the students cooked and warmed themselves. It is one of the rare examples reflecting the architecture of the Eastern Black Sea's village madrasas combining stone and wood. It can be toured together with the historic Çukurluhoca Bridge right nearby.
