Kampung Hulu Mosque (Malay: Masjid Kampung Hulu) is a mosque in Malacca, Malaysia. It is the oldest mosque in Malacca.[1]

The mosque is situated north of Jalan Tukang Emas, also known as "Harmony Street" because of its proximity to the Sri Poyatha Moorthi Temple and Cheng Hoon Teng Temple.

History

The mosque was originally built around the year 1720-1728. It underwent renovation in 1892.

The architectural design of the mosque is a cross between Sumatran, Chinese, Hindu, and the Melaka Malay. The minaret, ablution pool and entrance arch were built at the same time with the main building. The minaret resembles a pagoda.
