Aziz Mahmud Hüdâyi Mosque

History & heritage

A place of worship with a timber interior.

Town centre, Sivrihisar / Eskişehir

Aziz Mahmud Hüdâyi Mosque traces its first construction to 1591. Rebuilt in 1893, it is also known as the New Mosque. Its name connects it with an important figure in Sivrihisar’s cultural and religious memory.

The timber ceiling forms a large central dome-like space with surrounding half-dome forms. Bands below the balcony distinguish the minaret, dated to 1894.

Successive rebuilding is part of the monument’s story. Comparing it with other local timber-roofed prayer buildings reveals different uses of the same material.
