The mosque was built in 1867 or 1868 by the Kazan merchant Jihansha Usmanov (1817–1872), with P. I. Romanov as architect. The first prayer in the mosque was led by the Tatar scholar Shihabetdin Marjani.
Soviet authorities closed the mosque on 11 November 1931. Its minaret was restored in 1990, and in 1994 the building was returned to the community of worshippers.
