Village Mosque

The history of the village mosque is as old as our settlement history in the village. In 1900/1314, the old mosque was demolished and today's mosque was built in its place. The ornamentation and embroidery works of the mosque were made by Aziz from Yaglidere, and it is still open to worship in its original form today. All kinds of maintenance and repairs to the mosque are done by the villagers. The school, which is a supplement to the mosque, served as a village school until 1966 (until the new school building was built). In 1987, the minaret of our mosque, which is missing, was built by Ziya (Osmanoğlu) Karakullukcu on behalf of his wife Memduha Karakullukcu.

The Timitu Stavra church in Aşağıköy was converted into a mosque from 1938 to the early 1970s. The Aşağıköy Mosque, built in 1971, was demolished and rebuilt in 2021/2022. Since there was no imam in the Aşağıköy Mosque for many years, the people of Aşağıköy came to the Karauçi Mosque and prayed.
