The mosque was completed in 1325 CE, during the Ilkhanid era. Only some half-ruined walls and a dome remains from the mosque's original structure.. The remnants of the former mosque were added to the Iran National Heritage List on 10 February 1940, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.

Brick was used for the external structure and the interior decorations. The mosque had probably a minaret, but it has subsequently been destroyed.^[1]
