Jami Kampung Baru Inpak Mosque

Jami Kampung Baru Inpak Mosque is a religious building in Pekojan with a square layout and overlapping pyramid-shaped roofs that blend traditional Javanese architectural elements. The structure spans 1,050 square meters (about 11,300 square feet) with floors painted in white, green, and red.

An Indian merchant called Syeikh Abubakar built this structure between 1743 and 1748 to serve the needs of traders in colonial Batavia. Dutch colonial authorities later referred to it as Moorsche Tempel in 1829, reflecting its importance to the Indian Muslim merchant community.

The mosque serves as a central meeting point for the Muslim community in this neighborhood and welcomes worshippers during prayer times, especially during Ramadan. It remains an active space where people gather for religious observance and community connection.

This structure is located on Jalan Bandengan Selatan near Masjid Al-Anshor and is easily accessible on foot when exploring this neighborhood. Visitors should be aware that it is actively used during prayer times and modest dress is expected.

This structure retains features from the era of Indian merchants who arrived here in the 1700s and established themselves in this neighborhood. This connection to the Indian trading community continues to shape how the place looks and is remembered today.
