I am very grateful to the man who, when I was in Safranbolu, urged me to visit Beyşehir was built together with a türbe (mausoleum), a caravanserai, a bedesten (market hall) and a hamam (Turkish bath). The whole külliye (complex) took some five years to be built (1296-1301), ordered by the Eşrefoğlu prince Şerafettin Süleyman Halil Bey.
On 19 September 2023 it was one of five wooden mosques that were declared UNESCO World Heritage Site.
