Nur Ghasyr mosque

The symmetrical structure features four minarets at its corners, each reaching a height of 63 meters, with a central dome rising 40 meters.

The construction of this religious building took four years to complete, with funds raised through community donations before its inauguration in September 2008.

The mosque functions as the primary religious center for Muslims in Aktobe region, offering regular prayer services and educational programs for the local population.

The main prayer hall accommodates 3,000 worshippers, while the dedicated women's section on the upper level provides space for 500 additional attendees.

The mosque's architectural design comes from Aivar Sattarov, who also created the plans for the Central Mosque of Kazan.
