Английская Википедия:Aqsa Mosque, The Hague
The Aqsa Mosque (Шаблон:Lang-nl) is a mosque in the Dutch city of The Hague. It was originally built as a synagogue.
The neoclassical building on the Wagenstraat opened in 1844, serving the Ashkenazi Jews of the city. It was expanded in 1922 and damaged by fire in 1944.[1] Around 80% of the city's Jews were killed in the Holocaust, while their synagogues were plundered.[2]
In 1976,[1] the Jewish community sold the building to the city on condition that it never be converted into a church. The city's Turkish Muslim community began using it without permission during Ramadan 1979 due to safety concerns over their previous mosque.[3] The Turkish community took legal ownership of the building in 1981.[4] The Jewish community moved into a converted former Protestant church, which has since been mostly repurposed as apartments.[5]
The building is a Rijksmonument with the number 459778, inscribed 19 October 1993.[6]
