The mosque was built by Kasim Pasha in 1478–1479, the Beylerbey of the Rumelia Eyalet in the Ottoman Empire and a commander of the Ottoman forces during the reign of the sultans Mehmed the Conqueror (r. 1444‒1446, 1451‒1481) and Bayezid II (r. 1481–1512); he was also titled "Evliya", saint.

[2][3] The mosque is situated in the Kirişhane quarter on the north bank of the Tunca River to the south of the city of Edirne.

Above the main gate, a construction inscription with a three-line text in Ottoman language, is attached.

The lower windows, in rectangular form, are placed inside niches and have arched gables.

[2][4] In the 2010s, the province governor of Edirne initiated efforts to save the mosque from future ruin.
