Sultan Suriansyah Mosque
Masjid Sultan Suriansyah
The oldest mosque in South Kalimantan, a traditional Banjar timber building with tiered roofs, close to the tomb of the first sultan.
The mosque was built in the 16th century, during the reign of Sultan Suriansyah, the first ruler of the Banjar Sultanate to convert to Islam. It has a stilted timber structure and three layers of sloping roofs, blending Javanese and local Banjar architectural styles. Inside, you will find a carved pulpit and wooden pillars. It stands in the old royal district on the Kuin River, and the Sultan Suriansyah Cemetery is nearby. You can reach it by boat along the river, and it is often visited together with the Muara Kuin floating market. Visitors should dress modestly, and women should cover their hair. Do not enter during prayer times.
