Ertuğrul Tekke Mosque
The Ertuğrul Tekke Mosque is a mosque and was also a Tekke in Istanbul . Sultan Abdülhamid II had it built in 1887 in Semt Yıldız in the Beşiktaş district . The name Ertuğrul is derived from two factors: on the one hand, it refers to the father of the founder of the Ottoman Empire, Ertoghrul , and on the other hand, the mosque served as a house of prayer for the soldiers of Ertuğrul Alayı. Abdülhamid II had the mosque built for the Şazeli- Tariqa .
The main building complex consists of the mosque, the Tevhidhâne ( place where religious ceremonies are held ) and the Selamlık . In addition, the Tekke consists of a harem area and a guest house on the property. Between 1905 and 1906 a doorway for the Libyan clergyman Sheikh Zafir, a library and a fountain were built in the western part of the garden by the court architect Raimondo d'Aronco . The three elements are good examples of Art Nouveau architecture in Istanbul.
In 2008, extensive restoration work began. The mosque has been open to the public again since May 21, 2010. The cost of the restoration was 5.5 million TL .
