Özet:

Dervish lodges that were influential in the spiritual and moral world of the Ottoman Society made important contributions to social solidarity, development of the science, the culture and the art, and the creation of the social peace. We observe that among the founded buildings in the Ottoman period there were too many lodges due to the influence of social, cultural, religious and economic elements. Lodges opened their doors to different kinds of people with distinct habits and characteristics who want to reach contentment. They melted those people in the same pot and also offered activities to improve their members in most beautiful way. The lodge where the shrines of Abdulmecid Sivasi and Abdülehad Nuri are located and in which the characteristical traces of the historical and cultural fabric are observed is important to get to know Sivasilik, which is the unique brunch of Şemsiyye that is tied to Halvetilik. In this article, the Sufis, Sivasilik and the historical development of the lodges are studied.
