Chunakhola Mosque (Bengali: চুনাখোলা মসজিদ) is a historical fifteenth century single domed mosque located in the middle of rice fields in the village of Chunakhola, Bagerhat District. The Sultanate era mosque represents a transitional phase in architectural style, moving from the pure Khan Jahan style to the characteristics observed in later monuments, such as the Zinda Pir Mosque. The mosque was declared a historical monument in 1975. In 1983, UNESCO included the mosque as a “World Cultural Heritage”.
