Built on a 2500 square meter plot the mosque’s design is striking. The building itself spans 345 square meters. It comfortably fits approximately 315 people. Besides the prayer hall there are two offices and a kitchen. The 15-meter-high minaret is a standout feature. Its five-meter-diameter dome adds to its impressive silhouette. However the minaret isn’t accessible. This means it’s not used for the call to prayer the Adhan.
