Özet
Suffering houses (Çilehane) constitute an important building group in terms of architectural history\rtogether with the Turkish-Islamic Sufi tradition. In the history of Turkish-Islamic architecture, suffering house,\rbuilt in tariqat buildings, mosques, tomb or as an independent building are also called as the house of seclusion\r(halvethane), the room of seclusion (halvet odası). By understanding the requirements of the religion of Islam,\rapproaching Allah and fulfilling their religious responsibilities, the members of the tariqat aim to reach a certain\rrank in these cells by taking care of these facts. Residences where religious figures were born, lived and spent their\rtime are among the places that are respected by the public. In Bor, there is a residence belonging to Ahmet Kuddusi,\rone of the great sufi and divan poets raised by Anatolia. While Ahmet Kuddusi was a member of the Tariqat of\rNaqshbandi, in the following years he was joined in the Tariqat of Kadiri. After living in cities such as Tokat,\rMecca and Medina for a long time, he returned to Bor again and lived a life of seclusion in this residence until his\rdeath. Thanks to Ahmet Kuddusi's religious personality, the residence, in which the suffering house unit is located,\rhas associated the dimension of civil architecture with religion more, and for this reason, the entire residence has\rbeen called as Çilehane. Although Ahmet Kuddusi's personal, mystical views and works have been examined in\rmany studies, the residence he lived in was addressed for the first time in terms of architecture with that study.\rThe residence consisting of a selamlik (a room for men), a suffering room, a bath, a well and two water units\rcontributed to Bor's spiritual texture, urban memory, religious and civil architectural heritage and gained a unique\rplace in Anatolian Turkish architecture.
