Kong mosque

The Kong Mosque features a Sudano-Sahelian architectural design with mud brick construction and detailed geometric patterns on its walls and minarets.

Built in the late 1800s during the Kong Empire period, this mosque remained standing through French colonial control and became a center of Islamic learning.

The mosque functions as both a religious institution and educational facility, housing a Quranic school that teaches traditional Islamic studies to local students.

Visitors need to remove shoes before entering the prayer halls and women must cover their heads when exploring the mosque complex.

The mosque structure incorporates local architectural elements with wooden support beams protruding from its earthen walls, following traditional Sahelian building methods.
