Kampong Keling Mosque







This Mosque is a Sumatran-style building with a three-tiered wooden roof. It was built in 1748 and the outer wall was completed in 1868. This temple is unique in that it is one of the few mosques with a pagoda instead of a minaret. Also, the interior has no dome which is different from others and very unusual. The arcade around the prayer hall is a series of Corinthian columns, reflecting the European influence.
