TEKKÉ CHEIKH-ZENEL (TEQEJA E SHEH ZENEL - TEKIJA ŠEH ZAJNELIJA)
Go there and contact
This humble little tekke (Sufi religious gathering place) of the Halveti brotherhood was built in the second half of the 18th century. It is named after the dervish master Zejnel Abedin, of whom almost nothing is known, except for a few legends. Indeed, there have been no halvetis in the village of Topanica since at least the 1960s. But the building is classified: it is one of the twenty or so tekkés halvetis that remain in Albania, Kosovo and the Republic of Macedonia. However, this brotherhood played a major role in the Islamization of the local populations when the Ottomans arrived. At the end of the village, towards Domorovc/Domorovce, on the left, a mound indicates the location of a Neolithic fortress (Te Popovca) that was part of a small defensive network dating from the Iron Age
