Harris-Brandts: There are similar motifs across some of them, but there is a large degree of variance in terms of colour palettes and textures. The buildings themselves are all very similar; they are rectangular with a Qibla wall facing Mecca and a second floor mezzanine overlooking the prayer hall. There are three primary means of interior decoration. One is just paintings on the walls. There is a large variety in this regard; some carry local motifs from agriculture, such as corn or flowers; others are decorated with swords and Islamic references. Second, there is applied wood detailing, where small cutout pieces are nailed or glued as decorations and then painted in different colours. This is a way of making ornaments without having a skilled carver at hand. Third, and this is the most striking kind of decoration, is the actual wood carving, which usually was done by travelling Laz craftsmen. As we understand it, the architectural designs themselves were done locally and then, if the communities had the resources, Laz masters, when they travelled through the area, would ornament the interiors with a range of intricate carvings. Interior of the mosque in Chao. As far as I understand, some building are preserved and added to the heritage list, but most are not and there is no specific policy for preserving wooden mosques in Georgia? Harris-Brandts: No. Over time, the work we did was a mix of physically coming across them during our own field research and looking at other scholars’ work, such as that of professor Ruslan Baramidze , who has done some work from an anthropological point of view. Once we made our initial list of mosques and their locations, we found more by word-of-mouth and field travels. During Georgia Biomass’ design phase, the ANDRITZ hammer mill and pellet mill were identified as the best equipment for meeting the extreme production needs Georgia Biomass would face and from the wood yard to pellet production, ANDRITZ technology can be found throughout the plant. Harris-Brandts: There were particular components of different ones that I found to be really captivating. The interior of Dghvani is absolutely stunning, but I also really liked the mosque in Chao , which is quite small and on three levels. You enter through the basement and it has really great pastel colors. Nowadays, hotel business is actively developing. Those who promote it are interested in the hotels from wood. This material has one important quality - environmental friendliness, safety for human health and the environment. Wood has low thermal conductivity, so even in the bitter cold it’s always warm inside a wooden house.

Shioshvili: Especially the mosques further inland tend to be more actively used, because there are more Muslim communities living there and less conversion to Christianity. But the villages there are struggling in the sense that there are not many people left; young people especially are moving closer to Batumi to find work more easily.

After decades of state sanctioned anti-religious communist policies, and a post-Soviet revival of the Orthodox faith in Adjara, Muslims are now a minority in the province. Near the coast, in urban areas like Georgia’s second-largest city Batumi, few traces remain of the Ottoman past. Most Muslim communities live inland where many small Islamic architectural gems are hidden. In villages in this mountainous and green area, many wooden mosques built during the 19 th century are still standing. While they might look like normal houses from outside, their interiors are finely decorated and painted. For sure, it’s the best variant to stay for a weekend with family or just to have a peaceful rest outside the city.
