Its story

The Hıdır (Hızır) Bey Mosque is in Kozluk's historic Kale neighborhood, right at the foot of the castle. According to sources, the mosque was built in 1512 by Hızır Bey, son of Ebubekir, the bey of Sason, shortly before the area came under Ottoman rule, and it is referred to as the district's largest mosque. Together with the nearby İbrahim Bey Mosque and Kozluk Castle, it is one of the important parts of the cultural heritage remaining from the district's old bazaar settlement on the mountainside. With a short walk to the castle, these two historic mosques can be seen on the same visit.
