Shah Sultan Huseyn Mosque

The Shah Sultan Huseyn Mosque, built in the 18th century, is a historical monument in the village of Novkhany on the Absheron Peninsula in Azerbaijan, not far from the capital Baku. During the Soviet rule in the 1930s, the mosque was closed for prayers and visits, which led to its gradual destruction and deterioration. This religious structure belongs to the Absheron architectural school, known for its unique details and ornaments. Despite its small size, the mosque has exquisite architectural elements that retain their elegance and beauty. The walls of the prayer hall are decorated with various ornaments, and the dome is adorned with pointed arches, giving the building a special character and uniqueness.
