Dengere Mosque The village of Bölme Pınar, located in Burdur province, is home to one of the country's rare examples of a wooden-pillared, earth-roofed Dengere mosque. This mosque, built during the Seljuk and principalities period, can be found in Çavdır town. Interestingly, it does not bear an inscription, the reason for which remains unknown. However, the year 1661 is etched in stone on one of its walls, providing a clue about its construction date. The mosque, complete with a minaret and fountain, forms a harmonious whole. Its square layout is divided into three raised sections by four pillars, with eight-sided wooden columns lining the ceiling. The ceiling itself is an intricate display of pillows, balustrades, and other decorative features, including geometric painted designs on the pulpit and wooden faces. The ornate pulpit faces the mihrab and is constructed from plaster-painted pillars and decorative window-like openings, with the transition to the wall formed by triangular overlays. The entrance door, which has two wings, is embellished with carved wood in the 'künde kari' technique. The mosque's earthen foundation, which serves as its main structural base, was later covered with tiles to form the roof. In 1968, the General Directorate of Foundations carried out a restoration, during which they rebuilt the western wall.
