Kampung Kling Mosque
Masjid Kampung Kling
An ancient mosque blending Sumatran, Chinese, Indian and English styles. Its pagoda-style minaret is a landmark of the Old Town.
Kampung Kling Mosque was first built in 1748 and rebuilt in brick and stone in 1872. It is one of the oldest mosques in Malaysia. Its architecture is unusual. The three-tiered pyramid roof has Sumatran origins, the six-storey pagoda-style minaret shows Chinese influence, the interior columns are Corinthian, and the floor tiles came from England and Portugal. Non-Muslims may enter outside prayer times. Shoes must be removed and dress should be modest. Robes are provided by the mosque. It is located on Jalan Tukang Emas (Harmony Street). Nearby are Cheng Hoon Teng Temple and an Indian temple, so you can visit all three together.
