Masjid Raya Singkawang
An old city mosque built in 1885 by an Indian-descended kapitan, standing side by side with the Tua Pek Kong temple and a symbol of religious harmony.
The Grand Mosque was first built in 1885 on land donated by Abdul Razak, a merchant from Karaikal, India, who had been appointed kapitan by the Dutch colonial government. It was later expanded several times and now features a white dome and minaret. It stands just one street away from the Tri Dharma temple, and the sight of the two religious buildings together is a landmark of Singkawang. The exterior can be viewed outside prayer times. To enter, dress modestly, and women should cover their heads. Avoid visiting around noon on Fridays so as not to disturb worshippers.
