The Yakovali Hasan Pasa Mosque (Hungarian: Jakovali Hasszan dzsamija, Turkish: Yakovali Hasan Pasa Camii) is a late 16th-century mosque in Pecs, southern Hungary. It was constructed when the region was part of the Turkish Ottoman Empire, around the same time as the main mosque of Pecs, the Mosque of Pasha Qasim (which has since been consecrated as a cathedral). It was named after the local government official who commissioned the mosque, Yakovali Hasan Pasa (Hasan Pasa of Gjakova). It is thus one of the oldest mosques existing in Hungary today. The mosque is still active as a Muslim place of worship, and also houses a small exhibition centre for Turkish handicraft and historical artifacts documenting Hungary's Ottoman past.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, several people in Mijdrecht left the Reformed Church. They then went home to read a sermon on Sunday. Around 1920, weekly services were also held. In 1927, they joined the church association of the Reformed Congregations. Under the responsibility of the Reformed Congregation in Utrecht, services were then held on Sunday. In the same year, a small church building was built on the premises of the G. Den Hertog company at Bosenhoven 47. At the beginning of 1928, this church building was put into use by Rev. GH Kersten. On November 25, the congregation was instituted as an independent congregation within the church association of the Reformed Congregations. After Rev. R. Kok was suspended in 1950 (minister within the church association in Veenendaal), the congregation split in two. The part that continues to use the church building joins the church association of the Christian Reformed Churches and is officially included in the association of the Christian Reformed Churches by the Classis Utrecht on January 19, 1954, following a decision of the ll class meeting. The members who wish to remain with the Reformed Church only start using their own church building in 1966 , after having met at various locations for years.
