Unfortunately, the exact date of its construction is not known, neither the history of the addition of names of architects, or repair or alteration of monuments, and even any information relating to its history, some not. This gives reason to believe that the monument had no research, design and repair and restoration work.

Now they have a great destruction in the lower parts. It is known that the overlap aivan was flat, and rested on beams of wooden columns and on the wall areas of the winter. However, so far it was completely lost.
The mosque had a very beautiful decoration. Here are preserved following: niche decorated with lancet cones, stalactite vault, the original painting with geometric designs on the front wall, on the outer walls of the mosque in the upper half of the traces of paintings. However, all this is due to lack of maintenance has lost its original sophisticated look, thus it is in poor condition.
