Dubrave Gornje – Mosques, Mill and History

The Džamija Orašje, the cemetery at Džamija Plane and the Vodenica Agićka in the hamlet of Kadrići point to different historical traces in Dubrave Gornje. Orašje is associated with the construction period and opening, Plane with nišans from different eras and a single inscription, and the mill connects an age estimate with the grinding of corn. The Memorial-Malonogometni Tournament “Nesib Malkić” is also a dated event to consider. These distinctions help you factor historical interests and a potential event date into your travel plans separately.

Mosques and Historical Traces

Džamija Orašje was officially opened on 2 September 2012. Construction took ten years, and the mosque has two minarets. The opening date identifies the official occasion, while the ten-year construction period puts the preceding building process into chronological context. The minarets add a specific architectural feature to this timeline.

The cemetery at Džamija Plane contains nišans, or tombstones from various historical periods. An inscription on one nišan indicates that it is about 250 years old. This places the tombstones’ varied dates alongside one stone dated only approximately. The inscription provides a specific reference point, while the nišans from several eras give the cemetery a broader historical context. Džamija Plane was built after the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the site of a former mekteb; thus, the mosque’s construction history also adds to the cemetery’s history.

Vodenica Agićka in Kadrići

The Vodenica Agićka in the hamlet of Kadrići is believed to be more than 200 years old. A description from 2018 calls it the only one of seven mills in the surrounding area still standing. This places the single building in the context of an area that once had a larger number of mills. A report from 2018 also described how visitors could visit the mill and grind corn themselves; Himzo helped those who could not do it. If you would like to include corn grinding in your travel plans, check in advance whether a visit and this assistance are currently possible.
