Summary/Abstract: This article offers information, based on many years of research, about two very significant waqfs in Bihać. One of these, waqf of Gornje Prekounje mosque, no longer exists. The mosque itself is also no longer there and the land on which it once stood is now registered as a public property. This article also presents a number of waqfnamas of Bihać, where we found that, just few decades after endowment, the conditions listed in waqfnama are not applied. This is the case with some other waqfs in Bihać and throughout B&H. In this research we used documents from private archive of Sadik ef. Ribić and from the Archive of Una-Sana Canton.
