Bingkudu Mosque, 19th century mosque in Canduang Koto Laweh, Indonesia.

The mosque spans 21 by 21 meters with three-layered roof structure and stands at an elevation of 1,050 meters above sea level.

Constructed in 1823 following the Padri War, the mosque underwent major renovations in 1920 under the direction of Syekh Ahmad Thaher.

The mosque incorporates Minangkabau architectural elements, featuring intricate wooden carvings and construction methods similar to traditional Rumah Gadang buildings.

The prayer hall contains 25 columns, including a central twelve-sided concrete pillar surrounded by 24 wooden sixteen-sided supporting structures.

The mosque includes multiple ponds adjacent to the main building and maintains original wooden flooring assembled without metal nails.
