History
The mosque was built on the initiative and with funds from the Tatar community of Yaroslavl. Permission for construction was obtained in April 1907. In the spring of 1910, the hall for collective Muslim prayers was opened. This year is considered the birth year of the Yaroslavl Cathedral Mosque.[1] In 1931, the mosque building was repurposed for city needs, housing a school for hearing-impaired children. In 1992, the mosque building was returned to the Muslim community.
In September 2006, two perpetrators attempted to set the mosque on fire[2]. Both were detained and issued public apologies.[3]
Between 2008 and 2009, renovations were carried out using funds from the Akhmat Kadyrov Foundation (approximately 39 million rubles were spent): the foundation was strengthened, the walls were rebuilt, the area was expanded by nearly one and a half times, and a library and meeting hall were added. The mosque was allocated additional land, where several buildings were constructed, including an "Arabic gallery" and a madrasah.[3]
