Tinggi Mosque

Information

Masjid Tinggi Bagan Serai is an unusual wooden mosque with a zinc roof constructed in 1897 and formally inaugurated by the late Sultan Iskandar of Perak in 1928.

The unique design is said to be modelled on mosques found in Banjarmasin in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. During colonial times there was an influx of migrants from Banjarmasin who helped to establish rice growing in this region of Perak. The street next to the mosque is called Jalan Banjar.
