There are many examples of Christian churches that were converted into mosques as Islam spread through the Mediterranean, but what about the opposite? Are there any purpose-built mosques in the Iberian and Balkan peninsulas that were made into Christian churches following the dissolution of the Muslim empires in those areas?

Smh Christians so wasteful
And don't most former church mosques also have a church in them for Christians?? They are usually in pretty secular nations

In the Balkans they were mostly destroyed, but not all of them. Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, former Mosque of Pasha Qasim in Pecs, Hungary is probably the best preserved one.

There are also some smaller ones around the region. Like the All Saints church in Đakovo, Croatia. You can see where the minaret used to stand. Also, you can see that they added the front of the church to the mosque.
