Kampung Hulu Mosque (Malay: Masjid Kampung Hulu) is a mosque in Melaka City, Melaka, Malaysia. It is the oldest mosque in Malacca.[1]
The mosque is situated north of Jalan Tukang Emas, also known as "Harmony Street" because of its proximity to the Sri Poyatha Moorthi Temple and Cheng Hoon Teng Temple.
History
The mosque was originally built around the year 1720-1728. It underwent renovation in 1892.
Architecture
The architectural design of the mosque is a cross between Sumatran, Chinese, Hindu, and the Melaka Malay. The minaret, ablution pool and entrance arch were built at the same time with the main building. The minaret resembles a pagoda.
