Tobolsk cathedral mosque

Tobolsk, Tyumen region, Russia

Description:

Tobolsk Cathedral Mosque is a pearl of the history of the Tyumen region. It was built in the late 19th and early 20th century. The initiator of its construction was Tukhtasyn-haji Aitmukhametov, a representative of Tatar culture living in Siberia. He was a vowel of the city Duma, but acted as a patron in the construction of the temple. The money was also donated by Muslims in the region. He also founded a school at the temple, where boys and girls studied separately. The mosque was closed during Soviet times and returned to the Muslim community in 1988. During the nine months of 2011, the restoration was carried out, which spent about 38 million rubles. The temple corresponds to the classical Islamic style. The walls are decorated with quotations from the Arabic Quran. There is a pulpit for the preacher.
