Fatih Mosque, Turkish mosque in Rozengracht, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Description
The Fatih Mosque on Rozengracht is a building with two prominent towers that combine Gothic and Romanesque design features. Its walls display pointed arches and solid masonry typical of early 20th-century church architecture.
History
The building was designed by architect H.W. Valk in 1927 as a Catholic church called De Zaaier. It closed in 1971 and briefly served as a carpet store before becoming a mosque in 1981.
Culture
The mosque serves as a gathering place for Amsterdam's Turkish community, hosting daily prayers and social events within its historic walls. Visitors can observe how this space bridges Dutch architectural heritage with contemporary Islamic practice.
Practical
The building is located at Rozengracht 150 and opens to visitors at different times during the week and weekends. Check the visiting hours in advance since the mosque may have restricted access during prayer times.
Did you know?
During the conversion to a mosque, a major structural change was needed to orient the prayer space correctly toward Mecca. The original church had been built facing the opposite direction, requiring careful interior redesign.
