A single dome covers the square prayer hall of Bademlik Camii, a 15th-century mosque that Emir Hüseyin Bey built in the Yeni İmaret neighbourhood of Edirne. It also goes by the names Hıdırlık Camii, Emir Hüseyin Mescidi and Emir Şah Camii.
In its plan, materials and building technique, its façade, decoration and the position of its minaret, it is a typical example of early Ottoman architecture, of a kind also found in Edirne, Bursa, İznik and Amasya. The late-comers' porch is covered by a barrel vault. The minaret rises at the north end of the west wall, its shaft built of one course of cut stone to every three of brick, and the qibla and side walls each have three windows, two below and one above.
