Huber Mansion is located
at Tarabya district along
the European shores of the
Bosphorus. Its exact
construction date and
architect is not known but
most probably it was built
by the Italian architect
D'Aronco in the 19th century
for a German weapons dealer,
Mr. Auguste Huber. The
mansion was extended with
new constructions added at
different periods as we can
see it today. When Huber
family left the mansion
during the invasion of
Istanbul after World War
I, the mansion changed
several hands until it was
finally expropriated by the
Government in 1985 and
converted into a
Presidential summer
residence. Besides the main
building, the mansion has a
stable, garage, servants
house, two small chalets and
a greenhouse.
Huber Mansion is a
Government property and
closed to the public visits.
