Considered one of the most beautiful mosques in Malaysia, it was also designed by the same designer who designed the Ipoh Railway Station and also the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station. Construction of this beautiful mosque was completed in 1917.
What we feel makes this mosque unique is the contrast of the mosque with its golden domes and Italian marble against the blue sky especially on a sunny day like the day we visited. Parking is aplenty with an open carpark directly in front of the mosque.

Designed by a British architect, Arthur Hubback and built in 1910s this masjid looks incredibly dramatic in real life. Nothing like in the picture. So, it is something that you must see yourself. Its giant golden shinning dome caught our attention from afar. The design looks very much similar to Indo-Gothic or classic Indian style. You can also find other heritage monuments nearby such as the Royal Perak Museum, all located at Bukit Chandan, about 3km from the royal town Kuala Kangsar. They provide robes for visitors to enter the mosque; or as long as you cover your hair and wear appropriate long clothing that cover your body, that would be fine. Inside, it was really peaceful and serene. We were lucky to had a chance to witness an 'akad nikah' (marriage solemnization) in the mosque. For us, it is worth driving for hours in hot weather to witness this beauty. We're just glad.

The mosque is very unique and attractive. The architecture is simply amazing, design looks like the Taj Mahal. Apart from that, the surrounding was very peaceful, greenery. No worries about the parking since it's a open car park around the mosque. During my visit, I just managed to take photos from outside since I couldn't enter the mosque. Visitors should wear appropriate attire to enter the mosques. But during this Covid-19 pandemic, outside people are not allowed to enter the mosque. Basically, i would highly recommend visitors to visit this beautiful mosque !!!

Stunningly beautiful mosque from the outside. Unfortunately it was not open, even during visiting hours. Wondering if this is due to COVID-19. No signs or indication of why. We managed to get some photos of the outside though. Worth seeing if in the area.

Although it is only for muslims I took a respectful look inside at midday prayer time and I was not made to feel at all unwelcome. The main features are on the outside. This place is stunning and is well worth while seeing.

The mosque is an icon not only to Kuala Kangsar but to Malaysia as well. Built by British architects, it do reflected the more common mosque architecture built around that time. Go there during non-praying time since the parking space is available. Do respect the Muslims attending the pray but ask permission since I'm not sure is it ok for non-Muslim to enter the place or not. The mosque look big from the outside yet the hall is small compared to other mosque I went to and less adorned. But it do command a great view of the river & the town from one of its point. Check out also an abandoned mansion right next to the mosque since it reflect quite a unique architecture of the state.

A magnificent structure. Sadly we weren’t in time for its opening hours but it is a beautiful building and worth a visit. Make sure to wear long pants and ladies a head covering.

Worth a visit. The architecture is impressive. It has a surprisingly small prayer hall whilst the exterior appears very bug. Remember it is a place of worship, appropriate attire must be worn and shoes taken off if you are going to enter. Children need to be remind d to stay quiet out of respect for the people praying in the mosque.

wonderful mosque on a hill near city-center of Kuala Kangsa. On the way to Sultan palace. As it is so often in Malaysia, there is no public transport upstairs, one must walk or take a taxi
