If you’ve been in Kampung Kling Mosque, then you should be in Kampung Hulu Mosque as well. This mosque is regarded as one of the oldest mosque in the country as it was built during the early 1700s. The mosque is built by Dato’ Shamsudin, a prominent leader of Melaka during his time.
What makes this mosque special is the uniqueness of the architecture offering some of the most unique sights of Melaka. Although you might say that Kampung Kling Mosque looks almost the same as Kampung Hulul Mosque, the Kampung Hulu Mosque is proud to be different. Its pyramid like roof can’t be compared to anything. There’s also a minaret independent of the structure which is quiet rare in mosques. Tourists can visit the mosque provided they dress appropriately. Tourists are also likely not allowed to enter the mosque during special times of prayer. Visiting the mosque is among the recommended activities in Melaka to understand Malaysia’s culture and special architecture.
