The Yünören Camii in Muş's Korkut district is built of neatly cut stone and carries an inscription too damaged to read in full. The mosque dates from 1150, but because of the worn inscription it is not known who built it or who commissioned it. That two-line inscription, incised within a rectangular moulding above the entrance, is topped by plant and geometric ornament.
Before the prayer hall there is a rectangular room roofed with three cross vaults. Just to the right of the entrance is a plain mihrab flanked by mouldings, and a small door opens in the corner of the section on the left. From the middle bay a pointed, double-moulded doorway leads into the prayer hall, a single aisle under a barrel vault.
