The building was originally constructed in 1570 as a "mescit" (place of prayer), but in 1689 a"minbar" (preaching pulpit) was added, and with this, it became a mosque. Records show that the original "mescit" was built by Hadji Nasir. The conversion to a mosque was carried out by Hasan Aga, son of Kamalakzade Hadji Mahmut. The most important restoration work took place in 1812.
