Kampung Kling, one of the oldest mosque in Malaysia, was found by Indian traders, respectfully referred to as Klings. The mosque was first built in wood and later rebuilt using bricks. It is located on the Goldsmith-street, also called “Harmony street” because of the coexistence of temples and mosques. The architecture of the mosque is a beautiful blend of Chinese, Indian, Arabic and Malay. Unlike the usual dome structure of mosques, Kampung Kling has a triple-tiered green pyramid-like building. The structure and writings inside the mosque clearly show Chinese and Indian-Muslim influence.
The mosque offers robes for both men and women as it is required to put them on before entering the holy place. A guide is present inside to give you detailed information about the culture and history of the place along with some interesting local insights.
