About
[edit]The Birinji Nugadi village mosque was built by the villagers in the early 19th century. The mosque is built of raw bricks, and the 15 m-high (49 ft) minaret is made of red brick. The minaret was built between 10 to 13 years before the mosque. At first, the minaret was built at the same time as the mosque. However, the mosque was later found to be small, and it was demolished and replaced by the current mosque.[citation needed]
After the Soviet occupation in 1930, the mosque was used as a movie club, gym and warehouse. The surrounding cells were given to the kindergarten. During its operation as a warehouse, the wooden floors of the mosque were demolished and replaced with surface stones. The roof of the mosque was repaired in 1986 due to erosion. The roof was replaced and the external façades were renewed. However, the inside has not been repaired.[citation needed]
After Azerbaijan gained independence, the mosque was restored. However, as of 2021[update], the mosque was in need of repairs.[citation needed] The mosque's religious community is registered with the State Committee.[2]
