Yaylalar Mosque

This is a late example of delicate dressed stonework from the 19 century in a remote area. The inscription at the entrance gives 1891 as the renovation date, with generous donations of İbrahim and Halil Agas, descendants of Çüstoglu Osman Aga and support of the villagers. Nevertheless the original construction date of the mosque is unknown. Finely cut stones are used in the construction of the main building. The nave measures 11.90*11.60 m with a smaller two storey building standing againt the northern wall. The remains of the minaret can still be seen along the western wall of the nave. The narthex has been destroyed by an avalanche in the '80s. The entrance in the middle of the northern wall is ornamented. The U shaped wooden galery inside is supported by 4 poles and accessible with wooden stairs next to the entrance.
