Beykoz Mecidiye Pavilions perfectly reflect the example of "serdab pavilions", one of the 19th-century practices of the Ottoman architectural tradition. These pavilions, one of the natural beauties of Istanbul, were built using stones imported from Italy and local white marble.
The front facade of the pavilion is designed in neoclassical style and has a two-storey and symmetrical layout. In photographs from the reign of Sultan Abdulhamid II, it can be seen that the interior of the pavilion was enriched with gilded furniture, upholstery and curtains made of Hereke fabrics, Baccarat vases and large crystal candlesticks. The interior is also decorated with very valuable colored porphyry.
According to archive documents, there were rooms for the Sultan's entourage of officers and janitors in Beykoz Mecidiye Pavilions. In addition, there are various service and living units within the complex of the pavilion, such as a kitchen, mountain bath, small pavilion, water tank, conservatory, coop, aviary, and dovecote, but many of them have not remained to the present.
Beykoz Mecidiye Pavilions is an important example of cultural heritage from the last periods of the Ottoman Empire, with both its architectural elegance and interior richness.
