Minsk Cathedral Mosque, Islamic religious center in Tsentralny District, Minsk, Belarus.
The Minsk Cathedral Mosque is an Islamic religious building in the central district that houses a main prayer hall accommodating around 1,500 worshippers. The structure also includes an Islamic museum that opened in 2019.
The current building replaced an earlier mosque that was destroyed in 1962, with construction of the new structure beginning in 2004. It was completed in 2016.
The mosque serves as the main gathering place for Muslim worshippers in Belarus and plays a central role in the city's religious life. You will see how locals use the space regularly for communal prayers and spiritual practices.
The building is located at Ulitsa Griboyedova 29 and is open around the clock for visitors arriving at any time. The nearby Maladzyozhnaya Metro Station is within walking distance, making it easy to reach by public transport.
The building features an unusual layout where the entrance is positioned to the side of the mihrab rather than at the traditional front. This departure from conventional mosque design makes it a striking example of contemporary Islamic architecture.
