Izhevsk Cathedral Mosque

Izhevsk Cathedral Mosque, Central mosque in Izhevsk, Russia.

The Izhevsk Cathedral Mosque consists of two buildings on Azina Street: the old wooden mosque, moved here in 1932 and clad in brick in 2004, and a new mosque built beside it on 28 July 1996. The old building has a minaret added only in 1991, since earlier bans forbade one. The new mosque hosts Friday and holiday services, the old one weekday prayers and Islamic classes.

A wooden mosque on a stone foundation was built in the Tatar settlement on the Zarechnaya side after a design by acting architect Babushkin, approved in 1839; the first prayer was read on 2 November 1846. In 1932 the building was dismantled and moved 4 km to Azina Street near the Tatar cemetery, again without a minaret. A minaret was added in 1991, and a new mosque was built beside it on 28 July 1996.

The old wooden mosque holds weekday services and teaches the basics of Islam, while Friday and holiday prayers moved to the new cathedral mosque built beside it on 28 July 1996. A branch of the "Garmoniya" school for children works at the mosque, and the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Udmurtia is housed here. In 2011 the nearby bus stop was renamed "Izhevsk Cathedral Mosque", replacing the name "Angarnaya".

The mosque stands on Azina Street, about 4 km from the former Tatar settlement site, next to the Tatar cemetery to which the wooden building was moved in 1932. A new mosque built beside it on 28 July 1996 holds Friday and holiday services, while the old building is used for weekday services and classes in the basics of Islam. A branch of the "Garmoniya" school for children and the Regional Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Udmurtia are housed here. Since 2011 the nearby public transport stop has been named "Izhevsk Cathedral Mosque".

The wooden mosque was moved about 4 km to the Tatar cemetery on Azina Street in a single month in 1932, after the Izhevsk city soviet ordered its demolition on 9 June 1932 to make room for a factory. Its minaret was again forbidden; it was only built in 1991, when a madrasa also opened at the mosque.
