Ulu Mosque is the largest mosque in the Netherlands.

Construction began in 2009 and the building was finished in 2015.

 

The mosque's exterior was designed by Dutch architect Ishak Önen.

Red bricks were a deliberate choice to ensure the building complements the Dutch architectural style and harmonizes with its surroundings.

 

The interior was designed by Semih Irteş, an Istanbul-based architect and artist known for his traditional style.

 

This ground floor is for men, 2 upper floors are for women. The building is suitable for 1600 visitors.
