Cedidiye Mosque

The Cedidiye Mosque has two minarets and a dome and it can accommodate 2,500 worshippers. Both of its minarets collapsed during the 1999 earthquake and they were rebuilt in 2003. Büyük Cami was also built as a stone construction in 1912. In the earthquake of 1959 it was damaged and restored. Again in the much greater quake on 17 August 1999 it was damaged again. But shortly after the August disaster, another earthquake whose epicenter was closer to Düzce hit the area on November 12, 1999. This time the buildings collapsed completely. The mosque was rebuilt in the same architectural style on the same location and was opened to worship during one of the holy nights of Islam marking the conception of Prophet Mohamed, in 2004.
