Cathedral mosque

The Cathedral Mosque is one of the many architectural sights of Kharkiv. It was originally built in 1905 on the banks of the Lopan River at the end of Yaroslavl Street. During the Second World War, the building of the Cathedral Mosque was completely destroyed. The author of the building is unknown, the appearance of the lost structure allows you to judge its schematic image on an old postcard. The current building of the monastery was laid on the same site in 2000, it is a bright representative of Muslim architecture.

The Kharkiv Cathedral Mosque has one minaret, as well as one beautiful dome, located on a cascading two-storey extension.

In the exterior decoration of the building, pastel tones prevail. Inside the mosque is decorated with colored mosaics: vases and plants on a golden background.
