Polonezköy or Adampol is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Beykoz, Istanbul Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 346 (2022).[2] It is on the Asian side of Istanbul, about 30 km (19 mi) from the historic city centre.[3] It was inspired and funded by Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski and settled in 1842 by a small group of Polish emigrės, after the failed November Uprising.[4] There is still a Polish community there with its own church and cemetery.
