It is called the “Soğukkuyu Mosque” because of the cistern built on marble porphyry pillars located under the mosque.
It is known that it was built as a zawiya for the disciples of Cemaleddin İshak Karamani and was later converted into a madrasah.
It was demolished in 1942 due to neglect.
In 2013, the mihrab, minbar, pulpit, women gallery and ceiling were rebuilt from wood and opened for worship. Later, the roof was covered with tiles.

It is also known as the “Kanlı Medrese Mosque”.
