Hazinedar Prayer House

History & heritage

A small building with remarkable decoration.

Town centre, Sivrihisar / Eskişehir

Hazinedar Mescidi is a small historic prayer building associated with Hazinedar Necibüddin Mustafa and Sivrihisar’s Seljuk heritage. It stands beside Hoşkadem Mosque, but the two buildings have distinct identities.

Its best-known features are the painted Kaaba representation and interior decoration. Geometric and vegetal details around the mihrab give the modest space particular artistic interest.

A suggested earlier use as a teaching room is an interpretation, not a fully established account of every phase. Interior access determines how much of the painted decoration can be seen.
