Baku Mosque

During the Soviet rule, the minaret of the mosque was destroyed, and in different years its building was used as a storehouse and cultural center.

[1] According to historical data, in 1903, 238 people from Astrakhan gathered and decided to build a mosque on the place of the prayer house, which had been operating since 1897 and was located in the territory of the local resident Nijemetdinov, in the Kriushi region.

In 1907, the Astrakhan governorate allowed the construction of a stone mosque on the 2nd Bakaldinskiy street on the land bequeathed by Nijemetdinov.

[1] In 2002, the mosque was renovated with the efforts of the Azerbaijani community of Astrakhan province.

After the renovation, the mosque was named "Baku" and was presented to the Azerbaijani community.
