مسجد فخرالدوله

The Fakhr-ol-dowleh Mosque (Persian: مسجد فخرالدوله; Arabic: مسجد فخر الدولة) also known as the Fakhr Mosque, originally named as the Amin-ol-dowleh Mosque (Persian: مسجد امین‌الدوله), is a Shi'ite mosque on Fakhrabad Street in the Shemiran Gate neighborhood of Tehran, in the province of Tehran, Ira

n. The mosque was designed by Nikolai Markov and completed in 1949 CE. Princess Fakhr-ol-Dowleh, a daughter of Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar, was the founder of the mosque and named it after her father-in-law, Amin-ol-dowleh. However, the mosque now bears the name of its founder. Some minor and major changes were made to the building over the years, and some parts of it have been damaged due to the construction in the front of the building, and the passing of subway trains from the nearby Darvazeh Shemiran Metro Station. The mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 16 October 2004, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
