The original mosque was probably built before 1660. There were said to be five large plane trees in the courtyard of the mosque, but they, and the building, were destroyed during the War of Independence. In the 1950s, a new mosque was built in its place, but there is no resemblance to the architecture of the old mosque.
In the vicinity of the mosque, there is a war cemetery in memory of the Gaziantep soldiers who lost their lives in the War of Independence.
