Orhan Gazi Mosque The Orhan Gazi Mosque, situated in the heart of Adapazarı, is a rectangular cut-stone structure. The mosque was restored between 1893 and 1894 under the supervision of the Adapazarı district governor, Mehmet Nüzhet Pasha. This renovation period is marked by an inscription on the structure. However, the minaret bears an earlier construction date, indicating it originally dates back to 1316-1318. Historical records from the Ottoman archives show that the mosque was initially associated with the preacher of the Beloyan Village mosque in Sapanca. During its establishment in the 1320s, the nearby Ada Village consisted of only 24 homes. The mosque is believed to have originally mirrored the Büyükesence Mosque in style, which is an early architectural model known for its use of the bag technique and a cradle roof. The recent restoration preserved this traditional roof design. Featuring a wooden, tile-covered roof and lacking a dome, the mosque's minaret was restructured after collapsing in the 1967 Mudurnu earthquake and later rebuilt following the 1999 Gölcük earthquake. The former concrete courtyard walls were removed and replaced with a landscaped setting to enhance the environment around the mosque.
