Feshane was built in 1839 with the order of Sultan Abdulmecit in order to meet the fes and woolen cloth needs of the Ottoman army. Being the first textile institution of our country in the real sense, was one of the first examples of the steel construction building with the columns which were brought in from Belgium and assembled in 1851. Feshane, whose steam operated looms were also brought from abroad, was renewed in 1866 as the most developed textile factory of its time. The clothes which were knit in Feshane were awarded many golden medals in 1855 Paris International Exhibition, in 1863 Istanbul Exhibition “Sergi-I Umum-I Osmani (General Ottoman Exhibition)” and in 1893 Chicago International Exhibition. In 1939 the “Feshane Mensucat A.Ş. (Fez Factory Textile Inc.)” with its name at that time, was shot down and changed into Sümerbank Financial Department Factory. In 1986 the 8000 square meter great looming hall of the factory, which was abandoned due to the Golden Horn environmental arrangement works, was restorated staying loyal to the original.
