Construction of the mosque began in 1792 and took about ten years. According to the sources, it was completed in 1802 with funds from local residents, to the design of the architect Abu Bakir Ajami Nakhchivani.
The mosque and its madrasa remained active until 1924, when their activity was banned under Soviet rule. In 1933 the madrasa building, the minaret and other structures were demolished. The mosque building was later used as a carpet museum.
After Azerbaijan regained its independence, a fence was erected around the mosque and its auxiliary buildings, and the minaret, 41 metres tall, was rebuilt.
