Yenişehir Şemaki House Museum

The Şemaki House stands in the centre of Yenişehir, about 55 km from Bursa. It was built around the 18th century by the Şemaki family, who came to Anatolia from the town of Şemah and settled in Yenişehir. The state bought it in 1945 and began using it as a museum. After repairs in 1980, it was furnished in the style of a Şemaki household and opened to visitors in 1991.

It is a two-storey house. The ground floor has a stone-paved hall, a kitchen and cellar to the right, and two winter rooms to the left. A wooden staircase by the kitchen wall leads to the upper floor, whose garden-facing front opens through arched sections like a portico. Two rooms, one large and one small, open on to a hall with an iwan.

The hand-painted flower and panorama motifs on the walls date from the 19th century. A bathhouse once stood in the garden but no longer exists.
