Raya Syekh Burhanuddin Mosque

The mosque features two minarets on its sides and incorporates a square layout of 40 meters with a 3-meter terrace extension at its front.

The initial wooden structure, measuring 15 by 15 meters, was established in 1670 under the guidance of religious leader Burhanuddin Ulakan.

The building combines Middle Eastern architectural elements with traditional Minangkabau design patterns from West Sumatra.

The religious complex accommodates 3,000 worshippers and functions as a designated evacuation point during potential tsunami events.

Following the 2009 Sumatra earthquake that caused extensive damage, the mosque underwent complete reconstruction and reopened in 2011.
