Perm Mosque

Perm Mosque is an Islamic prayer house in Perm featuring a green and white striped exterior with a tall minaret rising from the central prayer hall. The interior combines Tatar architectural elements with practical spaces designed for daily worship and community gatherings.

The building was constructed between 1902 and 1903 through donations from wealthy Tatar merchants living in the city. After the revolution it served other purposes from 1940 until 1986, when it returned to religious use.

The mosque reflects the identity of the Tatar community that has worshipped here for generations through its crafted interior details and daily prayer gatherings. Visitors can observe how local Muslim families use the space during religious observances and celebrations throughout the year.

The mosque sits at the intersection of Osinskaya and Monastery Streets in the city center. Check the official website islam-perm.ru before visiting to learn about prayer times and access guidelines that may apply to visitors.

The building held the distinction of being the world's northernmost mosque until Nord Kamal Mosque was built in Norilsk. This geographic position makes it a notable point in the history of Islamic architecture in remote regions.
