The Tevhidhane

A prayer and gathering hall added as the Lodge grew through time. Today it carries the rhythm of remembrance and communal presence, connected directly to the enclosed tomb chamber as part of a single, dignified sequence of spaces.

The Enclosed Tomb

A near-square chamber that began life as a classroom and later became the enclosed tomb. Inside are two wooden sarcophagi, and the room’s mihrab and restrained details give it a quiet, contemplative character.
