Because of the different factors in
Kastamonu’s geographical situation, civil
architectural elements present a variety of
construction techniques and design which
are suitable for its geograpy.
Especially the most important features of
the mansions, which are located in the city
centre, are aesthetical mind and various
architectural designs on the frontage of
each construction. It means that there
isn’t a certain ‘’Kastamonu Mansion’’ but
there are 400 different architectural
constructions of Kastamonu.
Another important difference of
Kastamonu mansions is that the first floor
of the threestoried Kastamonu mansions is
not as quiet as the mansions in other cities.
It is the floor where daily life starts. Second
floors are the common area of the family
and third floors are the special place for
the guests of the house.
On structures of civil architecture, it is
seen on the mansions of Kastamonu that
there was a thought to use the area in
the best conditions, not to hinder the sun,
shadow and view of the neighbour.
İnebolu Mansions
Inebolu coastal residents take place with the
originality of the variety of the geography
of Kastamonu at samples at the beginning
of attracting abundance and diversity of
residential housing in the coastal İnebolu.
Inebolu homes which are forming the shape
of the main building of the coast, have
been built on the steep hillsides and 3 or 4
storey wooden buildings.The vast majority
of the houses in Inebolu are painted ocher
and red-burgundy pupils.These dyes have
been removed from the village of Vaccine.
The feature of protection is increased by
adding flox oil also for the protection of the
paint. In other parts of the coast, houses
often left to the natural color of the wood
with linseed oil which has strengthened the
homes against external factors.Tile roofs
of the houses in lieu of 4 side slopes and
indigenous Marla (slate) is covered with
stones.
