Nihat Tekin Camii (Mosque)
 The
old mosque
was established during the time
of Molla Mustafa. In 1996
Tepeköy
people
desired
to
renovate the Mosque. They wanted
to renovate it on account of
that its direction to Mecca was
not appropriate (according to
some rumors).
The construction of Nihat
Tekin
Camii was completed on
20.05.1997. And the construction
lasted for one year. It is the
biggest and the most beautiful
mosque in the villages in the
region, and for this reason it
has become a symbol of Tepekoy.
Nihat Tekin
has spent a great effort during
the construction of the Mosque
however he died short ago from
te completion due to a heart
attack. Therefore, the people of
the Village named the mosque as
Nihat
Tekin
Camii.
The funds required for the
construction were provided from
the people in the village and
Tepekoy people in the country as
well as the
Tepeköy
workers in abroad.
