The Ince Minareli Medrese, located in the Selçuklu District of Konya, is a significant historical site. It was constructed in 1264 during the reign of Seljuk Sultan II. İzzeddin Keykavus by Vezir Sahip Ata Fahrettin Ali. The purpose of the building was to teach the science of hadith, a collection of sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad. The architect of this impressive structure was Keluk bin Abdullah.
The Transformation of Ince Minareli Medrese
The Ince Minareli Medrese remained functional until the end of the 19th century. Records indicate that it underwent repairs between 1876 and 1899. In 1936, during the Republican Era, various restoration works were initiated. These efforts culminated in 1956 when the building was repurposed and opened as the Stone and Wood Works Museum, where it continues to serve the public today.
Exhibits at the Stone and Wood Works Museum
The Stone and Wood Works Museum, housed in the Ince Minareli Medrese, showcases a variety of artifacts from the Seljuk and Karamanoglu periods. These include inscriptions written on stone and marble using carving techniques, high relief reliefs from Konya Castle, and door and window wings adorned with geometric and plant motifs carved on various wooden materials. Visitors can also see examples of wooden ceiling centers, as well as tombstones and coffins carved on marble.
