About The Mamar Mosque was built in the 18th century in the village of Mamar in the Qubadlı district of Azerbaijan.

After the Soviet occupation in Azerbaijan, an official campaign against religion began in 1928. In December of that year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan transferred many mosques, churches, and synagogues to clubs for educational purposes. While there were 3,000 mosques in Azerbaijan in 1917, this number decreased to 1,700 by 1927, 1,369 by 1928, and just 17 by 1933. The Mamar Mosque was also closed for worship during this period, and the building was used as a storage facility.
