The Novopolye Mosque in the village of Novopolye, Bakhchisarai, was first founded in the XVII or XVIIIth century. The structure that has survived to the present day was built in 1825. Novopolye Mosque was closed by the Soviet administration in 1928 and used as a warehouse. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the historical mosque was given not to the Muslims, but to the Orthodox Christians and turned into a church. Today, the building is still used as a church. Since there are extensions to the east, west and north of the building, it is quite difficult to perceive its integrity.
