The mosque village Saklovo
The mosque village Sharshada
 Its design was approved in 1890, and the mosque was built in 1891 on the money of a lady Gulsum S. Sheikh-Ali. She lived with her husband Major-General Sheikh-Ali in Petersburg and had a country-estate in village Sharshada. This one-storeyed wooden mosque is situated on the edge of a steep slope of a hill in the centre of the village. It is the dome mosque with one praying room and the minaret above the entrance. The main part of the building is a square with the five-faceted frame mikhrab, the narrow passageway under the gable roof and the vestibule under the minaret. The mosque's entry is in its north side. The vestibule contained additional premises and the stairs leading to the minaret from which only the lower part has remained. The praying room is covered with the flat hipped roof above which projects an eight-faceted dome. A distinctive feature of the mosque is its long-reach cornices, large arched windows with horseshoe upper parts.
The mosque village Saklovo
 This mosque was built in 1906-1909 by the employers from village Kadrali (Agriz region of Tatarstan Republic) Anvarshakir and Shigabutdin Zaitov. The mosque's one-storeyed brick building is situated at a distance from dwelling houses, closer to the birch grove. Its minaret is above the entry. The whole building consists of three different in size parts attached to each other: of the vestibule, the small and the main praying rooms covered by separate roofs. The entrance to the mosque is from the western and eastern sides of the vestibule, which have a hipped roof. The rectangular part containing the main praying room is higher and wider than the other parts. It is covered by a very flat hipped roof. The small onion-shaped dome with eight facets can be seen above it. The wooden two-tiered minaret under a high eight-faceted hipped roof supplements this composition. The mosque is the monument of the Tatar religious architecture built in the eclectic style of the national romantic trend. It has very clearly reflected the influence of the urban architecture and type designing of mosques of the 19th century.
