Hacı Bektaş Velî, one of Ahmed Yesevî's Anatolian saints, migrated from Nishapur and settled in today's Hacı Bektaş district. He founded Kızılca Halvet, that is Çilehane, and after his death he was buried next to Çilehane and a tomb was built on it. The tomb structure, which is the center and part of the complex, is located opposite the entrance door of the Hazrat Courtyard, which is the third courtyard of the lodge. Although it is not known when the tomb was built, it is dated to the 15th century. When the dervish lodge and lodge were closed during the Republican period, the kulliye was closed in 1925. After serving as an Agricultural School for a while, it was restored with the 1925 letter of the Ministry of National Education and opened as a museum. It conforms to the original structure numbered 22 May 1964 and 1935. It was arranged in accordance with the original in the repairs made between 1950-1960.
