The city of Sygnak or Sunak-Ata, where the Sygnak mosque is located, was a well-developed trade center on the Great Silk Road, the city was the capital of the Kazakh Khanate and the first mention of it about the city was back in the X century. The mosque in the city was only partially preserved, as well as the mosque was destroyed by people who stole building material for their needs.
