ABOUT THIS ATTRACTION
The Džemaludin Čaušević Memorial House stands in Arapuša, near Bosanska Krupa, and is dedicated to the life and legacy of Džemaludin Čaušević — the Islamic scholar, educational reformer and reis-ul-ulema (the senior religious authority) of Bosnia & Herzegovina in the early 20th century, who was born in this area. The memorial house presents his life, his work in religious and educational reform, and his place in the modern history of the Bosnian Islamic community. For a visitor interested in the religious and intellectual history of the region, it is the one site in the Bosanska Krupa area that connects the town to the wider story of Islamic reform and education in Bosnia & Herzegovina.

Džemaludin Čaušević was an Islamic scholar and reformer who served as reis-ul-ulema of the Islamic community of Bosnia & Herzegovina in the early 20th century, a period in which the religious and educational institutions of the Bosnian Muslim community were reshaped. He was associated with the Arapuša area near Bosanska Krupa, and the memorial house was established to present his life, his scholarship and his reformist work to visitors.
