The mosque was built in July 1998 and opened in the same year. After plans for it became known, some residents of Brno submitted a petition stating their opposition to its construction. The city administration decided that the building should have neither a minaret nor a dome and should not stand out from its surroundings. Over time, residents' own experience of the mosque helped ease the initial tension.
From Wikipedia
Brno Camii (Çekçe: Brněnská mešita), Çekya'nın Brno kentinde bulunan bir camidir. Cami, 1998 yılında açılmış olup Brno İslam Vakfı tarafından yönetilmektedir.
Temmuz 1998'de inşa edilen Brno'daki cami, Çekya'daki ilk camiydi. Brno vatandaşlarının bir kısmı bir dilekçeyle caminin inşasına karşı olduklarını dile getirdi. Belediye başkanlığı, caminin minaresi ve kubbesinin olamayacağı ve çevresinden öne çıkmaması yönünde karar aldı. Vatandaşların cami ile ilgili deneyimleri gerilimi azalttı. Cami aynı zamanda bir kültür merkezi olarak da hizmet vermekte ve yüze yakın inananı ağırlayabilmektedir. Cami son zamanlarda gezilerle de ziyaret edilmektedir.
