Constructed between 1907 and 1910, this one-storey wooden mosque was built for the local Dungan community. The project was directed by the Beijing architect Zhou-Si (also known as Chou-Zi) and executed by Dungan craftsmen. A defining characteristic of the building is its construction method, which used no nails.
The architecture reflects a traditional Chinese style, featuring a multi-tiered, pagoda-shaped roof and a pagoda-style minaret. The building is adorned with intricate wood carvings and roof corners decorated with dragon figurines. These design elements reflect the Dungan community's cultural background and Buddhist roots.
As a designated national monument, the mosque underwent recent renovations by TİKA. The site is open to the public, serving as a significant example of wooden craftsmanship and historical architecture.
