Mosque
The construction of the mosque marked the start of the Johor's modernisation process in 1892, which was commissioned by the "Father of Modern Johor", Sultan Abu Bakar. It took eight years to build and was completed in 1900. The mosque can accommodate 2000 worshippers.
Architectural
The mosque is a mix of architectural styles, but principally Victorian! It is said that the minarets look like British watch towers. You are welcome to visit the mosque and even walk around its grounds, but visitors are asked to dress modestly. Also, you should try to avoid visiting on Fridays as this it is busy with worshippers on this day.
