Eğri şehir merkezinde bulunan Hamza Bey Mescidi, 1841 yılında tehlike arz ettiği için yıktırılmış, yalnızca minâresi günümüze ulaşmıştır. Çizeri bilinmeyen, aynı târihli bir resimden mescidin taş duvarlı sakıflı bir yapı olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Minâre, 97 basamakla çıkılan 35 m yüksekliğindedir. Kesme taş malzemeden inşâ edilen eser 14 köşelidir. 1897 yılında minârenin külah kısmı kesme taştan yenilenmiş ve minâre esaslı şekilde onarılmıştır.
Hamza Bey Mescidi, Eğri’de Türk hâkimiyetinin sona ermesinden, 1841 yılında yıktırılana kadar Misericordie Tarikatınca kullanılmıştır. Günümüzde turistik amaçlı kullanılan minârenin külahında haç bulunmaktadır.[1]

The Eger minaret (Hungarian: Egri minaret or Kethüda-minaret)[2][3] is an Ottoman-era minaret tower located in Eger city, northern Hungary. It is one of the most northern minarets left from Ottoman rule in Europe. The minaret is 40 metres (131 feet) high and built from red sandstone. It was built in the early 17th century as part of the Djami of Kethuda mosque[1][4] and used for the Muslim call to prayer (Adhan). The mosque no longer exists, but the minaret survives as a preserved monument of Hungary and a major tourist attraction of Eger. There are 98 steps on the spiral staircase inside, which leads to a balcony at 26 meters from the ground, offering unique views of the surrounding city.[2][5][6]
The Eger minaret is one of three surviving Ottoman-era minarets in Hungary. It is the highest and the best preserved of the three. The other two minarets are the Érd minaret and the minaret of Yakovalı Hasan Paşa Mosque in Pécs.[5] In 2016, a Turkish Muslim resident of Eger was permitted to call the Muslim prayer from the minaret balcony after 327 years.[7]
