Şeyh Şabanı Veli Mosque

Şeyh Şabanı Veli Mosque located within the Şeyh Şabanı Veli Complex is situated in the downtown Kastamonu. Born in the late 15th century or early 16th century and lived in Kastamonu, Şeyh Şaban Veli used the small mosque built before 1490 by Seyyid Ahmed Sünneti, who had been the representative of the Khalwati order in Kastamonu before him. The small mosque was expanded in 1580 by Şucaeddin Efendi, Sultan Murat III's mentor, and turned into today's Seyh Şaban Veli Mosque.

The mosque underwent its most comprehensive repair in 1778, and then the ruined building was demolished and rebuilt in 1870. After its reconstruction, it was repaired in 1885 and 1894. The last comprehensive repair of the mosque was made in the 1940s.

The building has been cleaned from the additions, the original sections have been restored, the minbar and pulpit, which are of high quality, have been conserved, the roof and minaret repairs have been completed and the project has been completed.
