Çivisiz Camii, Mahmutbey Camii - Kasaba Köyü Yolu

A magnificent architecture should not be missed during a visit to Kastamonu.

You definitely need to see this historical texture. It is a special place.While going to the Daday district of Kastamonu, the signs are directing you to the roads are completely asphalt and the transportation is very comfortable.

The wooden structure of the mosque, which is about 10km away from the center of Kastamonu, was built with the technique of overlap without the use of nails. The embroideries and motifs inside are very remarkable. Even the imitation made in place of the original door is very interesting. The road is not too bad, you can go up to your own vehicle.

It is a historical mosque but it is dark inside because there is no electricity inside.

When you come to these regions, you should not go without visiting them.

From the outside one does not recognize the value of this mosque, which was placed on the provisional list of UNESCO World Heritage for a good reason. It is an architectural masterpiece to assemble such an extensive woodwork without nails. Natural colors are impressive to you. Unfortunately, it is not well known.

It should be seen to be proud of the ancestors, to be ashamed of these days when technology is advancing, but handicrafts are on the verge of disappearing, to see what great things our ancestors accomplished at that time. Unfortunately, after the restoration, as everywhere else, its magnificent decorations began to fade. The thing that was swept as dust sand, which was laid by the ancestors to absorb the moisture, has preserved the motifs made of 700-year-old madder until today. The fact that the magnificent sultan's mahfil (two-storey) that you will see when you enter into the name is a mosque without nails, was completely built with the technique of passing. Unfortunately, some parts of him were nailed. The Ministry of Culture should protect the mosque, which is on the UNESCO world heritage list. We went on Sunday, the guard did not want to come because the imam was away on his annual leave. We had to wait for more than 1 hour with 15 individuals like us, for someone to come and open it. The last watchman opened. It was worth the wait, one of the beauties that everyone should see. Its value is appreciated, I hope that the Governorship and the Ministry will embrace it. Its door is not original, it is an exact copy, because its door was stolen before, it was found while trying to be taken abroad and it is under protection in the archeology museum.
