From Pavilion to “Mosque”: The Strange Evolution of Epstein’s Infamous Dome (5/1/26)

From Pavilion to “Mosque”: The Strange Evolution of Epstein’s Infamous Dome (5/1/26)

Newly released documents tied to the Epstein files shed light on the long-mysterious blue-and-white striped building on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, Little Saint James. Correspondence shows that Epstein repeatedly referred to the structure as a “mosque,” although its intended purpose shifted over time—at various points being described as a music room, chapel, pavilion, or spa-like bathhouse. Despite those changing plans, Epstein consistently pushed for Middle Eastern-inspired design elements, including specific tiles, a golden dome, and interior features modeled after Islamic architecture.

The documents also reveal that Epstein went to unusual lengths to acquire authentic Islamic artifacts, including highly significant items linked to Mecca’s Kaaba—Islam’s holiest site—such as pieces of the sacred Kiswa cloth. Emails show he leveraged connections with Middle Eastern elites and Saudi-linked figures to obtain these materials, reflecting what appears to be a years-long fascination with Islamic art and culture. However, there is no clear evidence the building was ever used as an actual place of worship, leaving its true purpose ambiguous and adding another layer of controversy to the already infamous island.
