Masjid Sekayu, Ancient mosque in Sekayu district, Semarang City, Indonesia.

The Sekayu Mosque occupies 174 square meters of space within a 349-square-meter property, featuring a traditional Javanese dome and single entrance door with flower motifs.

Founded in 1413 by Kyai Kamal, a religious scholar from Cirebon, the mosque initially had simple construction with palm leaf roofing, bamboo pillars, and earthen floors.

The mosque functions as an educational center through regular Quranic studies and structured programs designed to pass Islamic teachings to younger generations.

Reaching the mosque requires navigation through narrow streets in central Semarang, with visitors expected to follow appropriate dress codes and prayer time schedules.

The structure maintains its original Hindu-Islamic architectural elements, including four main pillars and a tower, despite undergoing six major renovations since 1814.
