It is located on Bastya Street on Pecs road in the outer suburb of Szigetvar. It is a simple work of art, which was built from a brick wall on two floors, with a single room on each floor. The upper cover of the building is vaulted from the inside, and it is covered with a Turkish-style tiled hipped roof. The lower floor of the building, which is not too high, is entered through a door located under the stair landing. It is known that the work is a primary school built in the Ottoman period. The building was repaired in 2014 and refunctioned as the Turkish House Museum. The museum was organized as a 16th-century Turkish House, based on the estate of Ali Çelebi Efendi, who came to Hungary as a treasurer in 1569. In addition, cedar, floor table, kitchen, stove, daily use items, coffee and bath culture, calligraphy, tiles, glass and miniature arts are introduced in the museum. Architect Foerk Erno, who came to Szigetvar in 1917 with his architecture students, drew the survey of the primary school. Erno stated that the work was known as the liturgical church in the colloquial language and showed the title of circumcisorium as evidence.
