This mosque in the village of Toprakkale was built in 1099 AH (1687 CE) by Mirza, son of Abdülakif. The rectangular-plan mosque is covered by a dome on an octagonal drum. Cut stone was used at the corners and rubble stone elsewhere. The mosque is entered from the side of a later-added entrance porch. A pointed-arched window on each side of the mihrab to the south, along with windows in the side walls, illuminate the interior. The transition from the drum to the dome is achieved by means of squinches.
