Various of mosque and ground staff LEAD IN: Built without using one single nail, Zharkent's Yuldashev Mosque is a spectacular example of Kazakhstan's multicultural heritage. But the exquisitely designed architectural treasure, a combination of Central Asian, Russian and especially Chinese influences, is now a virtually deserted museum. STORYLINE: Zharkent is situated in Almaty Region in the far southeast corner of Kazakhstan, at the foot of the Zailysky Alatau mountain range. The quiet town is the last major settlement in Kazakhstan before the border with China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, 40km to the east. Its mixed population includes ethnic Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and Russians. In 1887, local Muslims decided to commission the building of a new mosque. Led by a Uyghur merchant Alibai Yuldashev, they hired the talents of a Chinese architect Hon Pic, from Beijing. The mosque was built between 1893 and 1895, the result of a unique religious monument. Not a single nail was used in its original construction. But history has since taken its toll on the complex. An earthquake damaged the buildings, and during the Soviet era, when religious activity was forced underground, the complex was variously used as a stable and even social housing. In the late 1960s, the former Communist administration decided to turn it into a museum but even today, few tourists make it as far as Zharkent. The mosque also houses the madrassa. The two share a 'floating' traditional Chinese roof, ringed by wooden columns.
