Tuo Koto Nan Ampek Mosque

The Tuo Koto Nan Ampek Mosque spans 1,550 square meters and features three-tiered roofs designed for effective rainwater drainage in tropical conditions.

The mosque construction began in 1840 under the leadership of three tribal chiefs from Kampai, Piliang, and Malayu communities in West Sumatra.

The structure incorporates traditional Minangkabau architectural elements with forty-eight wooden columns supporting an elevated floor system 1.2 meters above ground.

The prayer hall accommodates 500 worshippers and serves the community through regular religious services and educational programs throughout the year.

The original wooden pillars, floors, and walls from 1840 remain intact, while the initial fiber roof has been replaced with metal materials.
