Abstract
Studies conducted to determine the factors that cause damage in historical wooden buildings in our country are quite limited. Rize-Fırtına Valley, with a climate index higher than 65, is one of the regions with the highest rainfall in our country. The risk of decay in historical wooden buildings in this region due to the high climate index is quite high. As a result of this situation, the resistance properties of wood are negatively affected. Within the scope of the research, samples were taken from wooden mansions that are at least 150 years old in the region. Cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose contents were determined in order to detect chemical changes occurring in the chemical structures of the wood samples. Thanks to the obtained results from this study, intervention/restoration methods may be suggested for the protection and sustainability of wooden materials in historical buildings.
