A historic mosque inside Hınıs Canyon, built in 1734 by Alaeddin Bey, one of the beys of Muş, also popularly known as the Dere Mosque.

Safety warning

It is an active place of worship; be mindful of prayer times and dress rules.

Its story

The mosque is in the Hınıs Stream valley, regarded as Hınıs's first settled area and called the Dere neighborhood by locals, right near the old Hınıs Castle. The building was constructed in 1734 by Alaeddin Bey, one of the beys of Muş. Because of its location inside the canyon, it is a natural stop on a visit to Hınıs Canyon; together with the castle remains and the ruins of old dwellings, it gives an idea of the district's Ottoman-period fabric. Open for worship today, the mosque can be seen on a short visit at the beginning or end of a canyon walk.
