230 Years old Masjid in Germany's

230 years old Germany's first Masjid & one of the oldest Masjid in Europe can be found in the gardens of Schwetzingen Castle. Designed and built in 1780 by French architect Nicolas de Pigage (1723-1796), it is the largest oriental-style building in a German-speaking country. Built from 1779 to 1796, Schwetzingen Masjid is the only 18th century garden Masjid still in existence in Europe. It is a real highlight, set within the Turkish Gardens, in one of the last areas of the beautifully landscaped castle grounds completed.
