Demak Great Mosque, 15th-century wooden mosque in Demak, Indonesia
The mosque features a traditional multi-tiered wooden roof structure supported by four massive teak pillars instead of the typical Middle Eastern dome design.
Built in 1479 during the reign of Raden Patah, this mosque marks the establishment of the first Islamic kingdom in Java by the Wali Songo.
The entrance doors display intricate carvings of plants, vases, and crowns, including the Lawang Bledheg pattern representing thunder according to Javanese traditions.
The mosque complex includes prayer halls, a museum containing historical artifacts, and the tombs of Demak Sultanate rulers accessible to visitors daily.
Vietnamese ceramic tiles cover the mosque walls, following Persian mosque designs while incorporating local Javanese woodcarving and brick patterns.
