The Huseynia Mosque is a historical and architectural monument that was built in 1825 at the expense of the daughter of the Iranian prince Bahman Mirza, Sabiyya Khanum.
One of them, translated into English, reads:[2] “The foundation of this mosque was laid on the property and at the expense of Sabiya Khanum, daughter of Prince Barman Mirza.
Other generous owners who live here have also invested in the construction of the building.”Professor Sadig Shukurov, in his book Historical Monuments of Ganja, wrote:[3] “The presence of decorations in the mosque and the size of the windows give the right to assert that the monument was originally built not as a mosque, but as a madrasah , because in the Eastern world it was forbidden to decorate religious monuments with ornaments.”However, this building was used as a mosque for a long time.
At the end of the 19th century, the Huseynia Mosque, in connection with the 100th anniversary of the birth of A. S. Pushkin,[4] began to be used as a library.
People's artist Togrul Narimanbekov created an example of paintings of two great poets on the inner wall of the building on the eve of the anniversary of Nizami.
