Makam Diraja Johor Telok Blangah

Makam Diraja Johor Telok Blangah, Islamic royal mausoleum in Telok Blangah, Singapore.

Description

Makam Diraja Johor Telok Blangah is a royal mausoleum in Telok Blangah located within Maritime Square, containing 32 graves of members from the Johor royal family. The burial sites are arranged within and around the adjoining mosque, creating a compound that combines religious and dynastic purpose.

History

The mausoleum was founded in December 1825 as a burial ground for members of the House of Temenggong. The last interment took place in 1900, marking the end of royal burials at this location.

Culture

The mausoleum reflects traditional Malay Islamic burial customs and shows the historical ties between Singapore and the Johor Sultanate through its design. The graves follow religious conventions and reveal the spiritual importance this place holds for descendants of the royal family.

Practical

The burial ground shares its location with the nearby Masjid Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim mosque, which underwent renovation in 1993. Since the site is in central Singapore within an urban area, visitors should be aware of the compound's access times and local surroundings.

Did you know?

The site originated as a royal palace complex, whose Audience Hall with pentagonal roof was later converted into Masjid Kampong Telok Blangah mosque. This transformation shows how sacred spaces changed their purpose over time while maintaining their connection to the royal lineage.
