Lütfiye Cami

The other is Kaçak Mosque. It is not far from the touristic places of Safranbolu.

We came upon the comments we saw. We liked it very much as a family. As far as we can see, it is a decent family business. When we arrived, there was no soup, the only thing missing was that. The meat was like Turkish delight, juicy and the fat was dark. Our good brother Bekir, who takes care of us, hosted us very well. There is nothing but bread with meat, only tea is served after the meal. I can't tell you, their bread was delicious and it came warm. Let me make a complete service, share the current prices and you like the comment ? April 2021 Well Kebab: 180 TL / kg Butter Honey: 10 Salad: 10 Jug Buttermilk: 30

Although we found the way difficult, we found it. The mosque built on the bridge over the stream is really worth seeing. By the way, bridges are always passed to the houses along the way until you reach the mosque.

Lütfiye (Fugitive) Mosque. The reason why it is called "leak" is because the water of the fountain, where ablution is taken under the mosque, disappears from time to time and then comes back again.

What is it like to make a murderer on the brook? Is it possible to build an illegal mosque so that the place does not go away? But it's a nice little mosque.

A very different mosque should be seen when going to Safranbolu, although it was actively used, it was closed.

Its architecture is extraordinary, those who come must see it Safranbolu Old Cariya is within walking distance, there is already a track and benches on the road. Ice cold water is flowing in front of his door. Important note The water flowing from the gutters opposite the toilet, not in front of it, tasted bad and made my stomach uncomfortable.

In Safranbolu, which is on the World Heritage Cities list and where Ottoman culture and architecture has been tried to be kept alive for centuries, historical buildings with different cultural assets draw attention. Lutfiye Mosque, which the people call the 'Fugitive' Mosque, is among these structures. Being one of Safranbolu's values ​​and open to worship for 137 years, its official name is 'Lutfiye' and in colloquial language, 'Fugitive' Mosque draws attention both with its architecture and its story. The mosque, whose inscription was reported to have been built by Muslubeyoğlu Hacı Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi in 1880, preserves its originality to a large extent with its ceiling, wooden parapet and wooden minaret. The mosque was built from rubble stones on a rectangular plan and covered with a wooden cover over the stream passing under it. Aytekin Kuş, a historian and writer from Safranbolu, said that the mosque built in 1880 has two names, one of which is 'Luftiye' with its legal status, and that it is an 'Unlawful' Mosque, as the people say. Bird told the story of the mosque, which is one of the unique mosques in Safranbolu in terms of its architecture and operation, with these words: "Muslubeyoğlu Hacı Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi, who was able to return to Safranbolu after a very long and arduous journey from the holy lands he went to for pilgrimage, had the Lutfiye Mosque built here because he made the pilgrimage by the grace of Allah. and the water coming to the fountain next to the mosque is cut off in some years due to the dryness of its source in very dry summer months. The water supply dries up and the water is cut off. In Safranbolu, the water is called 'runaway' among the people. For this reason, the mosque is called 'Kaçak Mosque' and its fountain is called 'Fugitive Fountain' ', for the same reasons, the area is called the illegal district. Even though the mosque is in the illegal district and it was named 'Lutfiye Mosque', this mosque has been known as the illegal mosque among the people since 1880." "A unique mosque" Noting that the mosque is unique in Safranbolu, Aytekin Kuş said, "Next to the place of worship, there is a neighborhood cafe and a neighborhood school. It is the only mosque in Safranbolu that brings worship, coffee, school and three processes side by side. It contributes to environmental protection and that the land is a very important economic value. It is a mosque built with an architectural skill. The mosque is built on the stream by throwing an arch, the first is to gain space and the second is to protect the water source. The arched system has more than one function, such as durability, coolness and fast completion of the construction. It is a city that conveys the art of architecture and living to us, where it is best used.”
