It was the largest Lipka Tatar mosque in the Second Polish Republic. Following the 22 September 1929, it was the first mosque to be visited by a Polish senior state official - the Polish president, Ignacy Mościcki.{{cite book |last1=Miśkiewicz |first1=Aleksander Ali |last2=Kamocki |first2=Janusz |title=Tatarzy słowiańszczyzną obłaskawieni |date=2004 |publisher=Kraków : Universitas |location=Warsaw |isbn=9788324202874 |page=110 |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/19969927?q&versionId=23509369 |accessdate=9 March 2019 |language=Polish}}
Following the Second World War, the mosque was transformed into a residential building (the minaret and tower was destroyed). During the 1990s, there were increasing efforts to rebuild the Tatar mosque. The mosque was reopened in 1997.
