The mosque at Sögüt was built between 1903 and 1905 by Abdülhamid II, and the provincial directorate describes it as a fine example of the neo-classical architecture of the last Ottoman period.
It is square in plan, its walls of red cut stone, covered by a single lead-clad dome. Because it has two minarets it is known locally as the Twin Minaret Mosque. It is on Ertugrulgazi Caddesi.
