Çayıryolu formerly Sünür is a village in the District of Bayburt, Bayburt Province, Turkey. As of 2010 it had a population of 489 people.[1] The village has a historic mosque and mausoleum.[2]
The present mosque is largely rebuilt in concrete sometimes after 1967.[2] The minaret of the mosque dates to 1676/77 but its base could be an earlier construction.[2] The mosque was repaired by the Ottomans after the village was burned by the Safavid Tahmasp I in 1548/49.[2] The repairs are commemorated by an Ottoman inscription in the mosque written in Persian with the date of 1550. Located in the mosque's graveyard is a ruined tomb believed to be of the Akkoyunlu ruler Kutlu (d. 1389).[2]
