Shah Sultan Hussein Mosque

The Shah Sultan Hussein Mosque features a central prayer hall beneath a dome supported by four pillars, with lateral rectangular rooms extending from the main space.

Built in the 18th century, this religious structure endured periods of abandonment during the Soviet era of the 1930s when anti-religious policies led to its closure.

The mosque incorporates elements of the Shirvan-Absheron architectural style, displaying regional limestone construction methods and traditional geometric patterns throughout its design.

Located 21 kilometers from Baku in the Absheron district, visitors can reach the mosque through regular transportation services connecting to Novkhany village.

The mosque's walls, constructed from local limestone and lime mortar, contain architectural details that demonstrate the craftsmanship of 18th-century Azerbaijani builders.
