The Tokat Mevlevihane Museum was originally built in 1638 by Sülün Muslu Ağa, one of the viziers of Sultan Ahmed I. It was renovated during the reign of Sultan Abdulmejid in 1850. The wooden Mevlevihane, arranged on two floors, is one of the finest examples of 19th-century Anatolian Baroque art. The most magnificent facade of the building has a series of columns adorned with wooden Baroque motifs and is known as the “Balkon Sokağı” (Balcony Street) facade due to the balcony that extends along the entire facade. The ground floor of the Mevlevihane consists of four rooms, which are accessed through a spacious foyer for daily use. To the immediate right of the foyer, there is a distinguished main room where the Sheikh receives his guests, featuring a magnificent ceiling medallion and a bookshelf, differentiating it from the other rooms. The second floor of the Mevlevihane is reached through a covered wooden staircase. The semahane (whirling dervish hall) on the second floor is covered by a Baghdadi dome supported by 16 wooden columns.
