Hara Mosque (Mahmudiye)
Mahmudiye, Eskişehir
A mosque beside the historic stud farm in Mahmudiye, commissioned by Sultan Abdülhamid II in 1897 according to its inscription.
Its story
Mahmudiye is home to the Anadolu Agricultural Enterprise, one of TİGEM's largest enterprises in Turkey, and the TJK stud farm; the foals raised here are sold at auction every year and run on racetracks. The Hara Mosque is near this farm complex. According to the inscription at the entrance to the prayer hall, it was commissioned by Sultan Abdülhamid II in 1897 (AH 1315). In later repairs, the portico and interior decoration in particular were altered. Together with the Çarşı Mosque of 1905 in the district center, the building is cited among examples of provincial mosques of the Abdülhamid period.
