Bohoniki Mosque (Template:Lang-pl) is a wooden mosque located in the village of Bohoniki, Podlaskie Voivodeship in Poland.[1]
History
The mosque was built at the turning point of the nineteenth and twentieth-century, most likely in 1873. The mosque was constructed after a fire burnt down a previous Tatar settlers' mosque in its location, which was located next to a historical cemetery in the eastern part of the village, existing since around the eighteenth-century, or from the seventeenth-century.[2]
During World War II, the mosque was destroyed by the Wehrmacht, which transformed the building into a field hospital. After 1945, the mosque had undergone numerous small renovations. There were plans for the mosque's expansion, but the conservator did not allow these plans to be put forward.
In 2003, the mosque's roof was renovated; the sheet tin roof was replaced by shingle. In 2005, the mosque had undergone a major renovation.[3]
