Mosque in Iŭje

The wooden mosque displays traditional Belarusian folk architecture with paneled walls, painted ceilings, and a prominent minaret at its center.

Built in 1882 with funding from Countess Elvira Zamoyska, the mosque underwent substantial renovations in 1922 supported by Tatar emigrants from the United States.

The mosque represents the enduring presence of Tatar Muslims in Belarus, who settled in the region during the early 15th century under Lithuanian Grand Duke Vitovt.

Located at Pereulok Proletarskiy in Iŭje, the mosque maintains regular prayer services and welcomes visitors interested in learning about Islamic heritage in Belarus.

During the Soviet period, this mosque remained one of the few active Islamic places of worship in Belarus, maintaining religious practices throughout the era.
