Eğri, Câmi (Servita Kilisesi)

Located in the lower suburb of Eğri Castle, at the intersection of Szaicz Leó Street and Servite Street today, the Servite Church was built using the body walls of a mosque whose name we do not know. With the end of Turkish rule in Eger in 1687, the mosque was probably in ruins. The church was built in 1728-1732 instead of the mosque given to the Jesuit priests by the Austrians. In 1754, the bell tower at the entrance was added a monastery was built in 1780 instead of the school next to the mosque. Since the Servite Church was built using the walls of the old mosque, it is in the direction of the qibla. Evliya Celebi reports Memi Aga Mosque, Carsi Mosque, Salih Efendi Mosque, Benli Ahmet Aga Mosque, Alabeyi Mosque, Yeni Zaim Mosque, Kasim Pasa Mosque, and Pazaryeri mosque and Mehmet Han Mosque, which was converted from a church in the suburb of Egre, as Mosques, where Friday Prayers took place. We do not know which of these mosques Servite Church is.
