Bayur Grand Mosque, Religious site in Bayua, Indonesia

Bayur Grand Mosque stands in Nagari Bayur, Tanjung Raya, Agam Regency, West Sumatra, near the road between Lubuk Basung and Bukittinggi. Its three-tiered roof follows the gonjong form of Minangkabau houses, and small towers at the four main corners recall Thai pagoda shapes. Inside, carved wooden planks painted in dark tones line the walls and support pillars.

Construction began around 1905 on the initiative of Syekh Muhammad Salim al-Khalidi Bayur and local figures such as Dt. Batuah and H. Abdurrahman; the foundation stone was laid on 19 Dzulhijjah 1322 H, and the mosque was completed and inaugurated in 1928. A full renovation, proposed in 1998 by Datuak Hakim Tantawi and backed by Bachtiar Chamsyah, was inaugurated on 8 September 2004 at a cost of Rp8.5 billion. It required demolishing the balerong (Nagari Bayur government office) and an elementary school, both moved elsewhere. Syekh Salim died in 1938 and is buried in front of the mosque.

The mosque's name comes from Nagari Bayur in Tanjung Raya, Agam Regency. It was founded by Syekh Muhammad Salim al-Khalidi Bayur, a local scholar who also established Madrasah Tarbiyah Islamiyah Bayur and taught at Surau Payung beside the mosque. He died in 1938 and is buried in front of the mosque, where his grave can be seen today.

The complex has separate washing and prayer facilities designated for men and women to use during visits. Near the entrance you will find shoe storage areas, and additional religious clothing is available for those who wish to borrow it.

The mosque's architecture combines a Thai-style pagoda form with the gonjong roof of Minangkabau houses, visible in a small tower at the four main corners. The roof follows a three-tiered pattern. The first stone was laid on 19 Dhu al-Hijjah 1322 AH, and the building was completed in 1928.
