History

The mosque was built by Burhanuddin Ulakan in 1670, making it one of the oldest mosques in Indonesia.^[1] When the mosque was built, the building was very simple with size of 15 by 15 meters (49 ft × 49 ft) and made of wood.^[2] The mosque was renovated for the first time in 1760, due to improper building conditions. The mosque was destroyed by the 2009 Sumatra earthquake. It was then rebuilt, and completed in 2011.^[3]
