The mosque was built in 1902, On the site of what appeared to be a small medieval chapel or church. A smaller mosque on the site had been built in 1895.

The mosque is made of cut stone (ashlar) and has a rectangular layout. It has three sharp arches in the front façade, and the space between the arches have been covered by glass in a renovation.[2] On the southern wall at opposite of the entrance, there is a mihrab and a nearby wooden mimbar.[3] The masjid also had a fountain during the British rule.[4]
