The mosque was built in 1764. The sources differ on who commissioned it: one attributes it to the request of the probable wife of Krim Giray, while another refers to an order from a khan of the Giray dynasty.
After its construction the building was closed to worship and given other uses. One source says it was used by the dervish school of Crimea, while another says it became a Tatar school and was later used as a coffee house.
