Malkocs Bej Mosque

The Malkocs Bej Mosque features a symmetrical structure measuring 12.5 meters in both length and width, with traditional Ottoman architectural elements throughout the building.

Constructed between 1543 and 1565 during the Ottoman occupation of Hungary, the mosque later served as a residential building after the Turkish wars ended.

The mosque maintains its religious function by hosting Friday prayers for Muslims from Siklós and neighboring areas, preserving Islamic traditions in the region.

Visitors can find the Malkocs Bej Mosque at Vörösmarty utca 4 in Siklós, where it operates as both a museum and an active place of worship.

The 1990-1994 restoration project earned the Europa Nostra prize for cultural heritage conservation, with furnishings provided by the Ethnographic Museum of Turkey.
