The Dollmatekke ( Albanian Teqja e Dollmës ) is a historical Tekke of the Bektaschites in the castle of Kruja in Albania . It is located on the western, lower edge of the fortress. There is an old hammam next to it .
The Türbe by Haxhi Mustafa Baba, which was built in the 1770s, is still preserved from the historic dervish monastery. It was based on the model of the single-cup mosques. The stone walls of the square building measure 7.20 meters. The flat dome rests on a low octagonal drum . The interior walls are richly decorated with tendrils of flowers and writings. One grave is from Adem Aga Toptani , who died in 1784 and probably founded the Tekke.
Around the Tekke there is a small garden with several graves of Bektashi dignitaries. One is from Haxhi Mustafa Baba , who died in 1495. An olive tree in the garden that bears the name Skanderbegs is said to be over 1000 years old.
In 1967 the Tekke was closed after the practice of religion was banned in communist Albania. In December 1990 the Tekke was the first to reopen in the country. Today the Tekke has the usual rooms for the reception and catering of guests as well as a kitchen and a bread oven.
The Tekke has been a state cultural monument since 1973.
