Abstract: The structural problems of the Hurman Castle in the rural area of Dağlıca Town, Afşin District of Kahramanmaraş Province are discussed. In the scope of the study, detailed structural evaluation of the castle was carried out according to the on-site inspection, systematic photographing documents and the drawings. Then, the results of this preliminary evaluation were used as inputs of structural analysis and calculations. The structural analysis of the castle were performed by Finite element method. Since Hurman Castle was subjected to serious local demolitions, models of sample structure parts were used to examine the current state of the building. In the models; on the north side, 152 points 67 solid elements; on the west side, 436 points, 265 solid elements were used. Finally, the systematic definitions of the protection solutions, which can be performed as a result of the structural decisions, were given for practical application of renovation and strengthening of the castle.
