Chini Masjid is located at Syedpur Upazila of Nilphamari district. Saidpur is the northern railway and industrial city of Bangladesh. Chini Masjid is one of the most fascinating and distinctive architect. Chini Masjid is also known as glass Mosque. Chini Masjid or Glass Mosque was established in 1883.
Glass mosque was built in only 1 year which seems unbelievable when we take our eyes to the design of external and internal part. To decorate Chini Masjid, 283 pieces of Cross Marble stones were used. Along with Cross Marble stones, 25 tons small chips of Chinaware-plate and pieces of glass (both color and non-color) porcelain were also used. This mosque has 27 towers from which 5 towers are still incomplete.

Hoarshi Shahi Mosque (হোরশী শাহী মসজিদ) is actually known as Masjidpara Mosque (মসজিদপারা মসজিদ). But now a days no one knows this name anymore. Also, the local people pronounce Hoarshi as Horshi (হোরশী), more precisely Orshi (ওরশী), Hosshi (হসশি). People from this particular area pronounce Bengali words in different tone. They will find the bookish words from your mouth so much funny.
This mosque was built during 675-76AD, according to a Persian inscription that is affixed permanently over the central doorway. It was mainly a square shaped mosque having a single dome over the roof which covers almost the overall roof.
Department of Archaeology announced this as a protected monument of the country. As it is a small mosque, to accommodate more people inside the mosque premise, local people built an extension at the three sides of the mosque. The extension is having tin shade roof, and for that it’s pretty hard to locate the original mosque.

হোরশী শাহী মসজিদটি মসজিদপাড়া মসজিদ নামে অধিক পরিচিত। তবে আজকাল কেউ আর এই নামে মসজিদটিকে চেনেনা। তাঁরা মসজিদটিকে বিভিন্ন নামে ডেকে থাকে যেমনঃ হোরশী, ওরশী, হসসি ইত্যাদি। এই অঞ্চলের মানুষেরা বাংলা ভাষা ভিন্নভাবে উচ্চারণ করে থাকে তাই আপনার মুখে শুদ্ধ বাংলা শুনে তাঁরা হেসে দিতে পারে।
মসজিদের কেন্দ্রের ফটকের উপর পারস্য ভাষায় স্থাপিত শিলালিপি থেকে জানা যায় যে ৬৭৫ অথবা ৬৭৬ সালে মসজিদটি নির্মাণ করা হয়েছিল। বর্গক্ষেত্রাকার এই মসজিদের ছাদ জুড়ে একটিমাত্র গম্বুজ রয়েছে। প্রত্নতত্ত্ব বিভাগ মসজিদটিকে পুরাকীর্তি নিদর্শন হিসেবে ঘোষণা করেছে। ছোট এই মসজিদের ধারনক্ষমতা বৃদ্ধি করতে স্থানীয়রা মসজিদটি তিনদিক থেকে সম্প্রসারণ করেছে। মসজিদের সম্প্রসারিত অংশে টিনের ছাদ থাকায় মসজিদের প্রাচীন অংশটিকে সহজে দেখতে পাওয়া যায়।

Dasbari Mosque is located close to Ompur in between Sona mosque and Kotowali Dorja. Generations of local people say it as Dasbari. It is an abandoned place now. According to an inscription in 1497 during the reign of Sultan Shamsuddin Yousuf this mosque was built.
No explanations are found regarding how this mosque was named. It is modeled after the Chamchika mosque in India. Like Dasbari this mosque is built with terracotta bricks. Its circumference is so thick that during the month of Chaitra when it is so hot outside but it remains cool inside. The main dome here looks pretty attractive. North to the mosque there is a Dighi whose volume is 60 bigha.
