Changes After Construction
The building was constructed in Hijri 1022 / 1613.
Hatice Hanım had a minbar installed, and the building passed from the function of a masjid to that of a mosque.
The mosque remained partly open for worship until 1928.
The period in which the integrity of the building disappeared coincided with the mid-20th century; the plot was used for different purposes for a long time.
The revival process began in 2009 and was completed in 2022.
The mosque, rebuilt on its original site, was opened on 27 January 2023.
Featured Highlights
The founder’s official title was sekbanbaşı; this title is a distinctive piece of evidence that directly connects the building to the military-administrative world of the 17th century.
In the mosque’s waqf deed, there are records for the plot, fountain, water well, and meşruta; there are also income-producing property records in Beyoğlu, Karaköy, Gedikpaşa, and Sultanahmet.
The minaret has a brick masonry character.
The present building is not a preserved continuation of the 17th-century structure; it is a place of worship re-established on the same site in the 21st century.
