The Unknown Tekke: Muradiye Mevlevihanesi in Edirne

Abstract

Muradiye Mevlevihanesi, which was among the significant dervish

lodges of Edirne, was located on a high hill in the backyard of Muradiye
Mosque. The building, whose date of construction is unknown, is thought
to have been erected by Mimar Şehabettin during the reign of Murad II.
This Mevlevihane once consisted of a mosque, sheikh hall, harem apart,
dervish halls, senior dervish rooms, alms house, tomb, library, fountain,
school and grave. However, it now comprises of only the mosque, fountain
and grave. Along with other dervish lodges, it was closed down in 1925
and pulled down in 1935.
