Lautze Mosque, Chinese-style mosque in Karang Anyar, Indonesia.
Description
Lautze Mosque is a Chinese-style prayer hall in Karang Anyar with three floors containing multiple prayer rooms and administrative offices in Jakarta. The red and yellow building sits near Sawah Besar Station and houses spaces for community activities.
History
The Haji Abdul Karim Oei Foundation established this place of worship in 1991 from a single shop space, with an expansion to adjacent lots in 1994. This growth reflected growing needs of the Chinese Muslim community in the area.
Culture
The mosque serves as a gathering place for Chinese Indonesian Muslims, where Islamic prayer traditions and Chinese design elements coexist in daily use. Visitors can see how two cultural traditions meet through the building's layout and visual language.
Practical
The prayer rooms accommodate around 300 worshippers spread across multiple levels with separate washing areas for ritual purification. Visitors can easily navigate the building and find spaces for community gatherings.
Did you know?
The building deliberately avoids traditional Islamic features like domes or minarets, instead using entirely Chinese architectural forms. This choice makes it a rare example of how two architectural traditions merge in a place of worship.
