The city of Zharkent (from 1942 to 1992, called Panfilov) lies in the region of Almaty, 330 kilometers northeast of the southern capital of Kazakhstan, on the borders with the People’s Republic of China, on the course of the River Ili. It extends on both sides of the A353 road which leads from Almaty to China, the cities of Korgas and Urumchi. This border town is interesting because it is home to the mosque that reflects the cultural formation of the Chinese architect who designed and built it between 1892 and 1895, Khon Pik. It has a rectangular floor plan (54 x 28 meters) and is 14.5 meters tall; it has a wooden minaret of nineteen meters and is surrounded by fifty-two wooden columns in Tien Shan pine. The entire wooden structure was built without nails. The interior is decorated with suras from the Koran. In the court yard of the mosque, on the northeastern side, there is a small garden, while the madrasa stands on the southern side. Access to the mosque is through two doors, one on the northern side and the other on...

We're on a week long road trip of Almaty province and today this mosque was on the list. They are doing renovations and it was neat to see the man doing the fine detail work of the interior painting. They have a small museum and don't take the religious part of being a mosque too seriously. We appreciated that. They didn't make us take our shoes off and they didn't make me cover my hair. The outside is not exactly inviting. If we were not such experienced travelers we probably would have shown up, thought it was closed, and left. The big main doors are closed and locked, in fact all the doors are closed and from the outside the place looks abandoned. We saw a handicap ramp and assumed that would be an entrance, there was an unmarked door, we pushed on it, and it opened! We...

Мечеть построена в стиле архитектуры Средней Азии, но с использованием элементов буддийского храма[3]. В состав мечети входят: пятничная мечеть, малая мечеть, портал (главный вход), боковые въездные ворота и каменная ограда[4].

Общая площадь мечети 28×54 м, высота 14,5 м, высота минарета 19 м. Минарет окружён 52 колоннами. Антаблемент украшен деревянной резьбой. Колонны изготовлены из тянь-шаньских елей. При наращивании колонн и других деревянных частей гвоздей не применялось. Стены мечети выполнены из брусьев, а кровля — из жести[5].

Во дворе мечети с северо-восточной стороны расположен маленький дворик, а с южной — медресе. Комплекс мечети огорожен каменным забором высотой 2,3 м. С южной и северной сторон имеются ворота[5].

Влияние китайских архитектурных традиций находит выражение в конструкции парящей крыши, имеющей изогнутые кверху концы ската, придающей зданию изысканность и воздушность. Мечеть состоит из двух этажей. Цилиндрические колонны без капителей и с большим карнизом (всего 52 штуки) образуют галерею, опоясывающую здание. 122 деревянных столба скреплены системой балок и насадок, образуя остов здания мечети[3].

Особенностью мечети является изобилие декора (резьбы по дереву, полихромной росписи в насыщенных тонах), оживляющего поверхности арок и стен главного зала мечети. В орнаменте интерьера преобладают растительные мотивы, арабская вязь, элементы уйгурского орнамента, но встречаются и изображения птиц, рыб, животных (в том числе фантастических)

Медресе находилось в здании у главных ворот, которое состоит из 14 комнат и хозяйственных построек. Окна медресе выходят на улицу, а двери — во двор мечети. Здание медресе годами использовалось в качестве то жилого дома, то кинотеатра, поэтому лишилось оригинального облика, который был возвращён в ходе реставрации. В медресе расположены экспозиционные и рабочие комнаты...

Красивое и аутентичное место! Следует посетить всем кто проезжает город Жаркент. Построено 1987г. Без единого гвоздя!

Oooohhhhhhh, it is one of the most impressive churches, mosques I have ever seen. Chinese style makes it really special. The mosque was built without metal nails, but the curious design incorporates a minaret in the form of a Chinese pagoda beside a more conventional Central Asian dome, with gates in the style of the Timurid epoch. And adding to the cross-cultural symbolism, the mosque’s ground-floor windows look Russian. Now it works as a musuem so one can come any time and enjoy the visit with the tour guide, visiting the mosque, the park around it, and the museum halls.
