... that the Göğceli Mosque(pictured) in Turkey, constructed in 1206 with stacked
planks without using nails, is still in use? Source: "Samsun'un Çarşamba ilçesinde 1206 yılında çivi kullanılmadan ahşaptan yapılan, Türkiye'de ayakta kalabilen en eski ahşap camilerden biri olarak gösterilen 300 kişi kapasiteye sahip Göğceli Camisi, 811 yıldır ayakta duruyor."

Interesting building on fine-looking sources, all Turkish, accepted AGF. Why no image? - Sorry, I don't understand "The wooden structure has a portable feature." --

Gerda Arendt: Thank you very much for your review and comment. The structure can be moved from its place to another, like some houses are transported from one place to another, as it stands on wedges and has no foundation like most buildings. Should I say "transportable" instead of "portabe"?. I added an image as recommended by you. It needs a check by you, I guess.

The image is licensed, and a good illustration. - You could say what you say above "The structure can be moved from its place to another", or "The complete structure is movable/portable". Reading "feature", I thought only some part could be moved. Perhaps I'm the only one not to understand. --
