Angke Mosque, Historic mosque in Tambora, Jakarta, Indonesia

The Angke Mosque displays a square base structure of 15 by 15 meters with a tiered roof system typical of Indonesian religious buildings.

The mosque was established in 1761 by Chinese converts Nyonya Tan and Syaikh Liong Tan, becoming one of the oldest Islamic places of worship in Jakarta.

The building incorporates architectural elements from multiple traditions, including Javanese construction methods, Balinese decorative patterns, and Chinese bracketing techniques.

Located near the Angke canal, the mosque complex includes a cemetery and maintains regular prayer services for the local community.

The cemetery contains tombstones with both Chinese and Arabic inscriptions, reflecting the diverse cultural heritage of Jakarta's early Muslim community.
