The design of the Grang Eyyub Sultan Mosque is inspired by the Turkish architecture. It was designed by the Turkish architect Muharrem Hilmi Senalp who designed the Great Mosque of Tokyo, the greatest mosque in Japan.

Hilmi Senalp has designed a monumental mosque for Strasbourg. A central element of the future community centre, the place of worship has a smaller footprint and reception capacity. The area is only 900 m2 including an open mezzanine for women, will be devoted to the prayer space. This will be adorned with a main dome and flanked by two minarets. The two minarets were to culminate at a height of 44 meters. After consultation with the City, the association finally agreed to reduce their height to 36 meters for the time being “to better integrate into the Strasbourg urban landscape”. Construction started in 2017.

The Grand Eyyub Sultan Mosque represents the Islamic civilization in the centre of Europe with its religious and civil architecture. The complex, which sheds light on the future of Muslims by being the symbol of Islam and Muslims in Europe, will revive Ottoman architectural art in one place. With its 27 small domes and two minarets around the large central dome, it was designed as a magnificent work that integrates tradition and modern technology.

The Grand Eyyub Sultan Mosque, with its functions, is a cultural garden that adds colour to our glass with its 600-900 square meters indoor area, conference hall, library, education centre, teachers’ room, dining hall, double-storey family restaurant, teahouse and commercial boutiques and 600 cars. It is planned to host many services with its parking lot.
