History

The mosque was built between 1845 and 1849 with donations from the merchant Ğobäydulla Yunısov, to a design by Alexander Karlovich Loman. Its original minaret was destroyed in 1929. Until 1992 the building was used for housing and offices. It then returned to worship and took the name Nurulla, from the Arabic Nurullah, meaning "light of God". A restoration carried out from 1990 to 1995 under R. V. Bilalov included rebuilding the minaret.
