The mansion was constructed during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz in 1865.
It is built on a high stone foundation to protect the wooden structure from moisture and potential flooding from the river.
The floor plan follows the classic Ottoman 'harem-selamlık' (private and public) division common in elite residential houses of that era.
The mansion was meticulously restored by the Ministry of Culture in the 1970s before being opened as a public museum.
Many interior rooms feature original wall frescoes that survived the late 19th-century period.
Hazeranlar Mansion is a restored 19th-century Ottoman konak located along the Yeşilırmak River in Amasya. Built in 1865 by Hazeran Hanım, the sister of a local governor, the three-story timber-framed building functions as a museum today. The interior architecture showcases traditional Ottoman domestic life, featuring ornate wooden ceiling carvings, sedir seating arrangements, and fireplace niches. The museum displays a collection of 19th-century ethnographic items, including clothing, copperware, and local handicrafts. Its structural design utilizes the 'hımış' technique, which combines a wooden frame with rubble stone or brick infill for seismic flexibility. The building is part of the historic Yalıboyu houses cluster, known for their distinctive overhanging facades reflected in the river. It stands as one of the best-preserved examples of civil architecture in the Black Sea region.
