Black Mosque, Astrakhan, Regional cultural heritage mosque in Kryusha Quarter, Astrakhan, Russia.
The Black Mosque stands on Zoi Kosmodemyanskoy Street 48, featuring architectural elements from traditional Islamic design with remnants of its original structure.
Bukhara merchants constructed the Black Mosque in 1816, but the structure faced demolition by Bolshevik forces during their 1939 campaign against religious buildings.
The mosque represents the enduring Islamic presence in Astrakhan, where multiple religious communities maintain their traditions alongside Tatar and Persian influences.
Reconstruction work continues at the site, allowing visitors to observe the ongoing restoration process while learning about traditional Islamic architectural techniques.
The mosque's location in the Kryusha Quarter places it among several other religious buildings, including the German Lutheran Church and the Red Mosque.
