The mosque in Ivye was built in 1882 at the expense of the owner of the town, Countess Elvira Zamoyskaya (by the way, a Catholic). In 1922, a gallery and a minaret with a high spire were completed with 500 dollars sent from the United States by Tatar emigrants. The interior of the temple is divided into male and female halves with separate entrances. And although the facade of the building reveals the features of the Art Nouveau style, researchers attribute it to architectural monuments in which the traditions of folk architecture manifested themselves.
A small wooden mosque in Ivye was the only one in Belarus that operated during the Soviet era. In its almost one and a half century history, it has never been closed.
Throughout its existence, the mosque has never been damaged. So, in July 1944, when Soviet troops liberated Ivye, the temple was not damaged only because of a short-range artillery shell.

He visited the mosque in Ivye after visiting the local museum. An interesting object for tourism. The mosque was built in 1882 and the mosque has not been closed since then.
An interesting fact in the history of the city.
Judging by the name of the local cemetery (Tatarskoye), the parishioners are Tatars.
I did not find out how this people got to these parts.
The Tatar community maintains its ethnic roots. It's very nice.
According to the information of the museum employee, the mule of this mosque is a local school teacher.
I didn't get inside, I liked the exterior of the mosque. It seems that East and West have joined. Everything is beautiful and orderly.
I advise you to visit this place.
Thanks to the locals for such preservation of traditions.
Thanks for watching my review.

We visited this place on an excursion. It was not possible to get inside, the building was closed. The mosque grounds are very well maintained outside. The guide told us an interesting story of the construction of the temple. As in all mosques, if possible, you should follow strict rules and respect their religion.

Мечеть в ивье построили в 1882 году на средства владелицы местечка графини
Эльвиры замойской. Эта деревянная мечеть в
Беларуси была единственной действующей в советское время. Рядом с мечетью расположены татарские кладбища- мизары.

Татары появились в ВКЛ ещё в 14-м веке, их нанимали для войн с Тевтонским орденом. За службу были жалованы землями и разрешением сохранить религию. Мечеть в Ивье (Гродненская область) построена в конце 19-го века на средства местной помещицы-католички. Не закрывалась ни Советской властью, ни немцами во время оккупации.
