Newly revealed records suggest that Jeffrey Epstein’s private island housed a structure filled with artifacts tied to Islam’s most sacred site. At the center of this revelation is a strange, blue-and-white building on Little Saint James, long the subject of speculation. Described over the years as everything from a chapel to an occult temple, documents now indicate that Epstein himself referred to it as a “mosque” despite being a secular Jew with no known religious alignment to Islam.
Jeffrey Epstein purposely designed his temple to look like Mamluk architecture.

Epstein’s fascination with Islamic art and architecture wasn’t casual; it was deeply curated. Over the years, he cultivated relationships across the Middle East, not just to expand his financial network, but also to acquire rare and culturally significant artifacts. Among the most striking items linked to his collection were embroidered tapestries associated with the Kaaba in Mecca, Islam’s holiest shrine.
These included fragments of the Kiswa, the black silk cloth that covers the Kaaba, crafted annually using gold and silver thread. According to correspondence, multiple such pieces were shipped to Epstein’s island, intended “for the mosque.” The significance of these objects is immense. One email described how millions of worshippers touch the Kaaba’s covering during pilgrimage, imbuing it with profound spiritual meaning. How such items made their way into Epstein’s possession remains unclear.

The building itself was no ordinary structure. Inspired by Middle Eastern architecture, it featured a golden dome reminiscent of ancient Syrian design and incorporated tiles sourced from a mosque in Uzbekistan. Epstein even referenced historic sites like the Yalbugah Hammam in Aleppo when communicating design ideas to collaborators.
But what makes the project more unsettling is the personalization of sacred elements. In one exchange, Epstein suggested replacing Arabic inscriptions for God with his own initials. Artists and architects involved in the project later confirmed that Epstein consistently referred to the structure as his “mosque,” though there is no evidence it was ever intended for actual religious use.
The Epstein files really just revealed that the Kiswa—the holiest cloth in Islam—was being used as a carpet in Epstein's crib. Sold out by billionaires for "access."

Epstein’s ability to acquire such items appears tied to his expanding web of elite connections. Through intermediaries, he gained access to influential figures in Saudi Arabia and reportedly secured meetings with senior members of the royal court, including Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. While Epstein pursued financial opportunities, such as pitching unconventional economic ideas, he also leveraged these ties to obtain rare cultural objects.
The “mosque” on Little Saint James remains one of the most enigmatic aspects of Epstein’s legacy. Some artifacts were reportedly damaged during Hurricane Maria in 2017, but many questions persist: Why did Epstein build it? What did it represent to him? And how did such sacred items leave their origins?
Epstein’s death in 2019, while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, closed the door on many answers.
