Nurul Islam Great Mosque, Historic mosque in Sawahlunto, Indonesia
The Nurul Islam Great Mosque spans 60 meters on each side and features five domes, with one central dome surrounded by four smaller ones.
The structure began as a steam power plant in 1894 during Dutch colonial rule and transformed into a mosque in 1952 after Indonesia gained independence.
The mosque functions as both a religious center and an educational facility for the local Muslim community in the Kubang district of Sawahlunto.
Located 150 meters from the Sawahlunto Railway Museum, the mosque contains a basement area that extends beneath the main prayer hall.
The mosque's 10-meter minaret originated as the chimney of the former power plant, maintaining a connection to its industrial origins.
