The old wooden mosque in Buzim (Stara drvena džamija u Bužimu) is one of the oldest and largest wooden mosques in Europe.
About this building
It was built in the 19th century with oak wood from this region near the Croatian border. As is customary in wooden buildings, no nails were used in its construction, but rather wooden hooks were used to prevent the wood from deteriorating as a result of changes in the environment.
This building was miraculously spared the destruction of Muslim places of worship during the 20th century. It is now protected as a national monument.
