In this episode of An Englishman in the Balkans, I explore one of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s most overlooked architectural details — the wooden minarets found on some of the country’s smaller mosques.
These are not the grand stone minarets many people associate with Islamic architecture. They are quieter, more local, and deeply connected to Bosnia’s forests, village life, craftsmanship, and memory.
From the Banja Luka area to small settlements across the country, wooden minarets tell a story of faith shaped by place — modest, beautiful, and easy to miss unless you know where to look.
A small detail, perhaps.
But in Bosnia, small details often open the door to much bigger stories.
