[1] According to one theory, Kütüklü Baba was a dervish who served under the Ottoman general Gazi Evrenos and built this tekke during his military campaign.

[1] The tekke, based on its architectural structure (octagonal room) is likely to have been built in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries.

The Muslims venerate it as the tomb of Kütüklü Baba, while the Christians have converted the eastern part of the monument into a makeshift church dedicated to Saint George.

[3] According to one theory (Tsigaras) the attendance of Muslims is due to the fact that the cult of Saint George is connected with the Bektasi/Alevi practice.

According to another tradition, this church was the burial place of a Catalan Company knight named Berenger D'Entensa, who was killed in a skirmish with the men of En Rocafort's comrade-in-arms during their march from Gelibolu to Salonica in 1307.
