Popularly known as the Shah Abbas Mosque, the place of worship is mentioned in scientific literature as the Haji Giyaseddin Mosque. The door of the mosque bears an inscription as “This mosque was constructed by Haji Qiyaseddin, the kind creature of Great Allah, in Hegira 1095”. This date corresponds to AD 1683-1684.
The Haji Qiyaseddin Mosque does not have a veranda. It was completely constructed of the local stone and consisted of one hall. The roof is in the arched ceiling form. Wooden materials were used nowhere except the entrance door. The mosque was built on the slab rock hill in the center of the village.
During the occupation of Fuzuli district, the mosque was demolished by Armenian invaders and turned into an animal stable.
