Pingyi Mosque

📜 About & history

Pingyi Mosque, on the east side of the middle section of Wenhua Street in Pingyi County town (formerly inside the north-west gate of Pingyi), was founded in 1535 (14th year of the Ming Jiajing era) and enlarged in the Kangxi era. On a 4-mu site, it keeps a six-bay prayer hall and three-bay north and south lecture halls, all of brick and timber in a simple old style. From 1995 a six-year restoration repaired the halls and added a rear niche hall, an ablution house and a women's mosque. On 10 October 2013 it was listed in the fourth batch of Shandong provincial protected heritage sites.
