The mansion is located in a small pine grove in the Soğuksu district. It is a building that was built by a banker at the beginning of the twentieth century, and after 1923, it was taken over by the treasury. Atatürk was hosted in this mansion during his visits to Trabzon in 1924, 1930 and 1937. After his death, the mansion was decorated with the items used at that time by the Trabzon municipality and opened to visitors as the "Atatürk Museum".
The mansion was built as a summer residence by Banker Konstantin Kabayanidis in the early 19th century on the Soğuksu Ridges overlooking Trabzon. Large and ostentatious European symbols are used in the building, which carries the influences of European and Western Renaissance architecture. Atatürk Mansion is a registered 4-storey building with a basement. In the entrance floor hall, which gives access to the spaces on the ground floor, the speeches of Atatürk at the dinner given by the Trabzon Municipality on September 15, 1924 are hanged in text form.
On the walls of the living room on the first floor, there are photographs of Atatürk from his various country trips and a map of Turkey with his own pencil marks. The great leader Atatürk visited Trabzon three times. Atatürk visited Trabzon for the first time in September 1924. He was taken to Soğuksu on 15 September for a trip and rested here for a while. When Atatürk came to Trabzon for the second time in November 1930, he was hosted in the Mansion and was very pleased. During his third visit to Trabzon in June 1937, the Great Leader stayed two nights in the Mansion prepared for him.
Atatürk, who made the decision to gift all his possessions to the Turkish Nation, whom he loved more than his life, in the Mansion on the night of June 11, said: “A person's wealth should be in his spiritual personality. Property weighs heavily on me. I am relieved to give these to my nation.” Atatürk Mansion is a historical place visited by visitors coming to Trabzon.
