description The subject of the study is the Keyhüsrev Bey Mosque, which is located in Sağman Village of the Pertek District of Tunceli province today and was named Salih Bey Mosque in previous studies. Based on the foundation records we reached within the scope of our study and the documents found in the Ottoman archives, it was understood that the building was a mosque belonging to the Keyhüsrev Bey Foundation.
