ITS STORY
Researchers agree that the mosque was founded by Habiboğlu Hacı Şuca; an endowment record of 1484 shows it was built in the 15th century. From 1801 Mehmed Emin Efendi used it as a Naqshbandi lodge, and it was also called the Eminiyye Lodge. After a period as a storehouse it was repaired, most recently restored in 2013.

In one historical source, it is stated that 32,500 silver coins were donated to the mosque by Hoca Hibetullah, the brother of the benefactor, in AH 889 / AD 1484; in line with this information, it is understood that the structure was built in the 15th century.
