History

The mosque was built in 1872 on the commission of the merchant Mukhametsadik K. Burnayev (1826–1898), to a design by the architect P. I. Romanov. It stands on the site of an older wooden mosque of 1799, which had burned down. The minaret was added in 1895.
In the late 1930s the mosque was closed following a decision of the Central Executive Committee of Tatarstan. It was reopened to worshippers only in 1994.
