Grande mosquée de Poitiers, Islamic prayer center in Poitiers, France

The Grande Mosquée de Poitiers features a 22-meter minaret and separate prayer halls designated for men and women within its contemporary architectural structure.

Construction of the mosque began in 2003 with an initial budget of 1.5 million euros, later increasing to 3.5 million euros over a 16-year period.

The mosque organizes educational programs, including Arabic language classes and Quranic studies, while maintaining regular interfaith dialogues with local religious communities.

Prayer times at the mosque follow astronomical calculations specific to Poitiers, ensuring precise alignment with Islamic practices throughout the year.

In 2013, the mosque organized an open house event attended by Archbishop Pascal Wintzer, following a period of local tensions.
