Bengkulu Jamik Mosque, Islamic worship center in Bengkulu, Indonesia.

The mosque incorporates a three-tiered roof system measuring 14.65 by 14.65 meters with carved pillars displaying Quranic verses throughout the structure.

Originally established as Surau Lamo in the early 18th century, the mosque was relocated to its present location by Daeng Makulle, a merchant from Tengah Padang.

The building combines architectural elements from Java and Sumatra, with its three-level roof representing the Islamic principles of faith, religion, and benevolence.

The mosque contains a central prayer hall with a mihrab measuring 1.60 meters wide and 2.50 meters long, surrounded by gardens and a triangular outer courtyard.

President Soekarno designed this mosque during his exile in Bengkulu in 1938, incorporating materials from Air Dingin Village and Ketahun in North Bengkulu.
