The single minaret of the mosque is covered with plaster, the pulpit is also made of wood.

During the construction of the Golden Horn Bridge in 1974, the basement and outer door of the mosque remained in the pit as a result of the rising roads. As a result of the construction works performed around the mosque, no houses left around the mosque so the congregation could not come and for this reason, it was closed in July 1990.
