Tuo Kayu Jao Mosque, 16th century mosque in Batang Barus, West Sumatra.
The Tuo Kayu Jao Mosque stands with a rectangular shape measuring 15 meters in length and 10 meters in width, constructed primarily from wood materials.
Built in 1599 by Angku Musaur and Angku Labai, this religious structure represents one of the earliest Islamic places of worship in the Solok region.
The mosque incorporates traditional Minangkabau architectural elements, including decorative ornaments and a three-tiered palm fiber roof supported by 27 pillars.
Visitors need permission before entering the mosque, which remains accessible through gravel pathways leading from the nearest village in Batang Barus.
Located under a valley and surrounded by plantations, the mosque deviates from typical urban placement patterns of religious structures in Indonesia.
