🕌 Momin Mosque

The Momin Mosque is a mosque located in Burirchar, Mathbaria Upazila, in the Pirojpur District of Bangladesh. The mosque is made of wood and structured without nails by woodworkers and calligraphers. The woodworks are arranged in geometric balance and painted with natural colors. A philanthropist in the village of Burirchar, Momin Uddin Akon, started building this mosque in 1913 by employing twenty-one artisans, and it took seven years to complete the work. In 2003, the Bangladeshi Department of Archaeology designated the mosque as a national heritage and listed it under the name Momin Mosque for preservation. Restoration work on the mosque began in 2008.
