While its construction is estimated to be from the late 19th century, the year 1903, discovered during restoration work, likely indicates its completion date. After serving as a place of worship for many years, the building was used for various purposes before being restored by the Bursa Nilüfer Municipality and reopened as a cultural center in 2014. It is within 303 meters walking distance of Ağlayan Çınar.
