Many big cities over the mosque, the mosque, which is an important historic building with a remarkable presence of Kastamonu in Turkey's neighborhood that bears his name. Topçuoğlu Mosque, which has survived centuries ago and stands with all its beauty, is open to worship. Since the mosque, located in Topçuoğlu District, Topçuoğlu Street, does not have an inscription, the date of its construction is unknown. It is understood from the architectural features of the mosque that it was built in the second half of the 15th century. It is among the written information that the mosque was repaired between 1845-1846 in the Şer'iyye Registries. The mosque, made of cut and rubble stone, has a square plan and measures 9.75 × 9.75 meters.

Although the building shows the characteristics of a typical Ottoman work, it is almost as if it was rebuilt with extensive repairs. Hopefully it will be back to its original form soon.
