Great Mosque, Religious landmark in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia
The Great Mosque stands on Kazanskaya Embankment with white walls and a central dome accompanied by four minarets reaching toward the sky.
The mosque opened its doors in 1913, marking a new chapter for the Muslim community during a period of religious development in pre-revolutionary Russia.
The building serves as the main Islamic center in Nizhny Novgorod, where Muslims gather for daily prayers and religious celebrations throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the mosque by taking public transportation to Kazanskaya Embankment 6, with guided tours available during non-prayer times.
The structure holds federal cultural heritage status and combines traditional Islamic architecture with early 20th-century Russian building techniques.
