Safety warning
Its story
The mosque, standing right beside the village road in the northeast of the village of Yünören, is built of fine cut stone. The low-arched entrance door is set within a rectangular molding, and the facade is enlivened with dentils of different sizes; the two-line incised inscription above the door cannot be fully read as it has been worn by natural factors. Before entering the prayer hall, you pass through a transverse section covered with three cross vaults; the single-aisled prayer hall is covered with a barrel vault and has a plain mihrab carved into the qibla wall. An eleven-step staircase set into the wall leads up to the roof. On the tour routes of the Muş Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism, the building is a short stop within the village fabric; respect prayer times.
