The Liva Pasha Mansion, which houses the Ethnography Museum, is a rare example of Kastamonu civil architecture. It was constructed by Mir Liva Sadık Pasha, who served as the President of the Kastamonu Military Branch from 1876 to 1881. The mansion features 22 rooms, 6 lounges, a double-winged staircase, a bath, and a kitchen, providing insight into the lifestyle of a 19th-century family. The Liva Paşa Mansion was expropriated and restored by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. It opened in 1997 as an Ethnography Museum. The basement floor serves as the furnace room, the ground floor as administrative offices, and the mezzanine and upper floors as exhibition halls. The mezzanine exhibits handicrafts such as coppersmithery, ropemaking, saddle-making, shoe-making, tablecloth printing, weaving, and harness making. The upper floor showcases a reenactment of traditional domestic life in Kastamonu. Visitors can observe the haremlik and selamlık sections, as well as life-scale figures of the pasha and his family dressed in their ornate clothing and using items from their daily lives. The Gate Wings of Mahmut Bey Mosque in Kasaba Village are notable exhibits in the museum. These wooden wings were carved by Mahmutoğlu Nakkaş Abdullah from Ankara and are surrounded by a border of Rumi motif series in a rectangular shape. The motifs divide the gate wings into three sections. The inscription on the right wing reads 'Omnipotent God said:' and finishes on the right side with 'Masjids are unique to Allah. Do not pray for something other than Allah there.'
