Its story
The Acem Nasuh Mosque was built of cut stone in the 14th century in the Köşk neighborhood, attached to Hüyük. The roof of the rectangular-plan prayer hall is carried by wooden posts; the building is one of the early examples of the mosques with wooden posts seen in and around Konya. Its original mihrab is understood to have been covered with plaster and tiles. In the cemetery south of the mosque there is a tomb whose roof has collapsed and part of whose walls remain standing; the uninscribed gravestones here are reported to belong to Acem Nasuh.
