The mosque was first built in 1836. Tatars had been settled in Saratov since the early 18th century.
In the 1930s the Soviet authorities began persecuting followers of various religions, Islam among them, and the mosque was closed. The building was returned to the local Muslim community only in 1989. It was then decided to demolish the old structure and build a new mosque in its place.
