Özet:

Despite of their modest appearances, baths have custom layouts as interior design schemes, plans, hot and cold running water, heating and lighting systems. Especially the Turkish baths loom large for a long time in socio-cultural life of Turkey because they have social character because of the events like cleaning, birth, marriage taken place there. In this study, two historical baths in the Sefalık Village of Aybastı County of the Ordu are introduced for the first time as a scientific. It is tried the baths with no inscription to be dated by comparing similar examples according to their historical, architectural and structural features. These are put in order with a single function. Reflecting the architectural features of the classic Turkish bath, they consist of a warmth, heat, water tank and furnace. While rough-cut stone and ruble stone were used on their outer walls and cut stone was used on the interior walls, arches, gateposts and corners, brick was used in their dome transitions. It is tried to identify these baths’ place among the Turkish baths by examining materials, techniques and decorative features in detail. Partially preserving the original features, these structures were built for the needs, so their functionality was in the foreground. They have reflected the social, political and architectural environment o their time as a document, but most of them have lost their function and use.
