Mithapukur Mosque is an early 19th-century mosque in Mithapukur, Bangladesh.[1] Evidence shows it was built in the Mughal period,[1] and in recent years the Department of Archeology has listed it as an archaeological monument of Bangladesh.
The Mosque is located around half a mile northwest of Mithapukur at the upazila headquarters.[1]
According to inscriptions, the mosque was built by Sheikh Mohammed Asin, the son of Sheikh Sabir and grandson of Sheikh Moazzam. It was completed on a Friday, in 1226 AH (Muslim year) (1811 AD).
The mosque has a rectangular base and three domes.
The mosque is found on Rangpur-Bogra highway, 4 km south of the town of Rangpur District.
