Grand Mosque of Riau Sultan, Royal mosque in Penyengat Island, Indonesia

The Grand Mosque of Riau Sultan displays thirteen domes and four minarets, painted in yellow and green colors across its elevated structure.

Built in 1844, this religious building marked the center of power for the Riau-Lingga Sultanate, which influenced Southeast Asian maritime trade routes.

The mosque contains a 150-year-old handwritten Quran and serves as a primary location for Islamic practices within the Riau Islands region.

Visitors can reach the mosque via water taxi from Tanjung Pinang harbor between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with services running daily.

The construction of this religious edifice incorporated egg whites as binding material, received as gifts during the Sultan's marriage celebration.
