Eşrefoğlu Mosque, 13th-century mosque in Beyşehir, Turkey.
The rectangular mosque measures 31.8 by 46.55 meters, featuring 42 cedar wood columns that support seven naves leading to an ornate mihrab.
Commissioned by Süleyman Bey of the Eşrefoğulları family in 1296, the mosque represents architectural developments during the Anatolian beylik period.
The wooden elements display kalemisi technique with hand-painted designs, reflecting the influence of Turkic nomadic traditions on Islamic architectural practices.
The mosque maintains regular prayer services and provides visitors with appropriate clothing items such as long trousers and scarves for respectful entry.
The structure contains a central snow pit that, until the 1940s, was filled with mountain snow to maintain proper humidity for wood preservation.
