Meczet w Wilanowie

Meczet w Warszawie znajduje sie w dzielnicy Wilanów, przy ulicy Wiertniczej 103. Pomysl budowy meczetu w stolicy pojawil sie jeszcze przed II wojna swiatowa, a jego inicjatorami byli polscy Tatarzy. Planowano wzniesienie budynku z minaretem, kopula oraz haramem z woda – fontanna lub zródelkiem. Glówna sala modlitewna miala pomiescic 350 mezczyzn, a galeria dodatkowo 100 kobiet.

Zwycieski projekt z 1936 roku autorstwa Stanislawa Kolendy i Tadeusza Miazka zakladal budowe swiatyni z cebulasta kopula i czterema 20-metrowymi minaretami. Ostatecznie jednak plany nie zostaly zrealizowane.

Obecny meczet w Wilanowie nie jest tradycyjna muzulmanska swiatynia – to zaadaptowana w 1993 roku willa, w której nie ma minaretu. Oprócz funkcji religijnych w budynku mieszcza sie islamskie instytucje kulturalne oraz biura Muzulmanskiej Gminy Wyznaniowej w Warszawie.

Wilanów Mosque

The mosque in Warsaw is located in the Wilanów district at 103 Wiertnicza Street. The idea of building a mosque in the capital emerged before World War II, initiated by Polish Tatars. The planned structure was to feature a minaret, a dome, and a haram with a water source—either a fountain or a spring. The main prayer hall was designed to accommodate 350 men, with an additional gallery for 100 women.

The winning 1936 design by Stanislaw Kolenda and Tadeusz Miazka envisioned a building with an onion-shaped dome surrounded by four 20-meter-high minarets. However, the plans were never realized.

The current mosque in Wilanów is not a traditional Muslim house of prayer but a villa adapted for religious use in 1993. It does not feature a minaret. The building also houses Islamic cultural institutions and the offices of the Muslim Religious Community of Warsaw.
