Momin Mosque, Wooden mosque in Mathbaria Upazila, Bangladesh.
The prayer hall of this mosque measures 7.47 meters by 3.55 meters, with thick wooden walls and a double-leaf door at the eastern entrance.
The mosque construction started in 1913 under the guidance of Moulovi Momin Uddin Akon and was completed in 1920, employing twenty-two artisans from Swarupkati.
The wooden surfaces display intricate carvings of leaves, flowers, and fruits, reflecting the local artistic traditions of early 20th century Bangladesh.
The Department of Archaeology maintains the site, which features wooden screens and windows designed for natural ventilation throughout the prayer hall.
The entire structure was built without using any nails, utilizing wood sourced from Chittagong and Myanmar to create a solid architectural framework.
