The mosque was built by Yörgüç Paşa in 1428. Yörgüç Paşa, formerly the governor of Amasya, had settled here after undertaking the duty of Lala to Shahzade Murat, who was appointed to governorship in his stead by his father Çelebi Mehmet. Later to become vizier, Yörgüç Paşa had fulfilled important duties in Amasya and the surrounding area. Yörgüç Paşa Mosque is one of the common inverse T shaped mosques in Amasya. The walls are built of hewn stone. The use of red and white marble in the bearing walls and in the arches of the windows gives the building a colorful appearance. The arch of the antechamber, which is built so as to make a slight projection instead of being aligned with the walls to give the structure a more elegant perspective, is built of red and white marble as in many other similar buildings. The epigraph is placed above the door, under the blind windows which are adorned with geometrical and floral patterns. One of the unusual characteristics of the building is that the portico is part of the inner space of the mosque. Beyond the entrance is the initial large-domed cloister of the main space dedicated to worship. The access to the rooms on both sides is through the doors on the eastern and western walls. These two rooms are also domed.
