Ottoman Tapu (Deed) – Vineyard in Debreşe Village, Kalkandelen (Tetovo), Prizren (1899)

Description:
An original Ottoman tapu (property deed) issued for a vineyard (bağ yeri) located in Debreşe Köyü, Kalkandelen Kazası, Prizren Sancağı. Today, this region lies within Tetovo, North Macedonia. The deed is dated 3 Eylül 1315 AH (15 September 1899 CE).

  • Boundaries (Hududu):

    • Ali Ağa

    • Şeyh Hüseyin Bağı

    • Mustafa Ali

The property measured 1.5 dönüm-i atik, 13 evlek, 78 arşun, 95 kirah, 12 parmak. It originally belonged to Selim bin Süleyman (Selim, son of Süleyman), an Ottoman citizen. Upon his death in 1293 AH (1876 CE), the ownership passed to his son Hafız İbrahim. The vineyard was valued at 150 kuruş at the time of registration.

This deed not only documents Ottoman landholding traditions in the Balkans, but also serves as an important historical piece demonstrating the presence of Turks in the Balkan region during the late 19th century. Such records highlight both the continuity of Ottoman administration and the enduring cultural footprint of the Turkish population in Macedonia and surrounding areas.
