Tver mosque, Mosque in central Tver, Russia
Description
Tver Mosque is a cube-shaped building with pink and red striped brick walls and a prominent minaret rising above it near Sovetskaya Street. The distinctive color pattern and vertical tower make it stand out in the city's central location.
History
Construction was approved and completed in 1905, establishing the Muslim presence in the city at that time. The building was closed in 1932 and returned to the Muslim community in 1992.
Culture
The mosque serves as a gathering place for the Muslim community in a region shaped largely by Orthodox Christianity. It demonstrates how different faiths coexist and are practiced within Tver today.
Practical
The building is in a central location and easy to reach, with regular prayer schedules that visitors should respect. It helps to check current opening times before visiting and wear appropriate clothing.
Did you know?
During the Soviet period, the building operated as an Eastern-style restaurant rather than a mosque. This unexpected use shows the complex history of the place across several decades.
