Kurşunlu Mosque

History & heritage

Ottoman architecture in the historic centre.

Town centre, Sivrihisar / Eskişehir

Kurşunlu Mosque was commissioned by Şeyh Baba Yusuf and dated by its inscription to 1492. It replaced an earlier prayer building on the same site.

A single dome covers the main space, with three domes over the entrance prayer area. Cut stone and alternating stone-and-brick work give the exterior different textures.

A fountain and adjoining tomb extend the setting beyond the mosque itself. The tomb is associated with the patron’s father Halil Hoca and son Veli Hamdi Baba, bringing family memory into the architectural story.
