The Nemėžis Mosque is a wooden mosque located in the village of Nemėžis in Lithuania. It was built in 1920 by the Tatar community who had settled in the area in the 19th century. The mosque was designed by a Polish architect named Józef Pius Dziekoński, who also designed several other mosques in Poland.

The first mosque on this site was built in 1684, during the time when Lithuania was under the rule of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Unfortunately, it was burned down in a fire in 1909, but it was later rebuilt.

The mosque features a traditional Tatar wooden architecture with intricate carvings and decorations. It has a rectangular plan with a dome on top, and the interior is decorated with paintings and calligraphy. The mosque was used by the Tatar community for religious purposes until the Soviet occupation of Lithuania in 1940, after which it was used for other purposes. In 1956 soviet occupants tried to demolish the mosque but local Tatar community was protesting against it and the building stayed.

In 1997, the mosque was restored to its original state and opened to the public. It is one of 3 surviving wooden mosques in Lithuania and is considered a unique cultural heritage site. Visitors can learn about the history of the Tatar community in Lithuania and their traditions and customs. There are around 120 descendants of the Tatars that were relocated here in 1397 by Grand Duke Vytautas living in Nemėžis
