Eyyub Sultan Mosque, Islamic center in Meinau district, Strasbourg, France
The Eyyub Sultan Mosque is a large building complex with two minarets and spacious prayer halls. The project includes educational spaces and youth activity areas alongside the main religious functions.
Construction started in 2008 with architecture inspired by Ottoman traditions. The project emerged after Turkish communities established themselves in the Alsace region starting in the 1960s.
The mosque serves the local community as a gathering place with dining facilities, a tea lounge, and a shop inside. Visitors can see how the religious space integrates daily social interaction with spiritual practice.
The site is currently under development, so visitors should check that not all areas may be accessible. Contact ahead to confirm current visiting conditions and hours before planning your visit.
The complex is being built as one of the largest Islamic centers in Europe in terms of overall size. This ambitious project shows how religious architecture is taking new form within modern European cities.
