Lima Kaum Mosque, Religious complex in Limo Kaum, Indonesia

The Lima Kaum Mosque stands in the center of Nagari Lima Kaum, with its main structure built using wood and featuring a traditional multi-tiered roof design.

Established in 1710, the mosque was constructed on the site of a former pagoda after the local population converted to Islam during the Minangkabau highland expansion.

The mosque interior contains a central wooden pillar measuring 75 centimeters in diameter and reaching 55 meters in height, constructed with timber collected by local residents.

Located 20 meters from the main road between Batusangkar and Padang, the mosque provides dedicated areas for Quran study sessions and footwear storage.

The mosque's five-level roof incorporates design elements that facilitate rapid rainwater drainage, adapting to the tropical climate of West Sumatra.
