Keşap Güneyköy Camii

On the entrance of the last congregation area of the mosque, which has no inscription, it is written that it was built in 1314. Accordingly, it must have been built in 1898. The structure, built in masonry system, has a rectangular plan in the north-south direction (11.40 X 9.20 meters). The length of the building became 15 meters with the last congregation area later added in reinforced concrete. Cut andesite stone was used in the exterior walls in terms of material, and the south and west walls were plastered later. The last congregation area is a later added structure, and it has no minaret. In the building, which is plain in terms of facade arrangement, the most striking architectural elements are the windows and the moldings and eaves. The lower row windows of the building are rectangular in form, and the upper jambs of the windows are in the form of profiled eaves. The upper windows are square in form and are smaller than the lower windows. These windows adjoin the eaves above. All of the windows, which have flat lintel stones, project slightly outward from the facade and have iron grilles. On the east and west facades there are three windows below and two above each; on the north and south facades, there are two windows below and two above each. Of the upper row windows on the north facade, the one remaining on the west was later rearranged as a door leading to the gallery. The facades end at the top with a two-row profiled eave kept short. The mosque is covered externally with a four-sided hipped roof clad with zinc sheet.
