Abstract :After the conquest of Kamaniçe in 1672, one of the catholic churches in the city was converted into a mosque in the name of Haseki Gülnuş Sultan, who was the favourite of Mehmed IV. This building could only function until 1699; after then, it was reconverted into its original function, and today, it is still being used as St. Nicholas Church. This article examines this short lived and long forgotten Ottoman mosque, revives the minbar of it that is still present inside the church, and studies the significance of this conversion which was uniquely carried out in the name of a haseki.Keywords :
