Ayer Barok Mosque
History
The construction and use of this mosque began in 1916. In 1969, the mosque was no longer used for prayers. This follows a new mosque being built nearby. The Ayer Barok Mosque is only used as a religious school for the local community
Urban and Architectural
The Air Barok Mosque is without a minaret. The three-tiered roots teature similar characteristics of many previous mosques, with a pyramidal and elevated roof structure. It is richly ornamented with an elaborate stona carved pinnacle 'crown' and floral motif roof eaves detailing. The clay roof tiles have been retained and used.
The entrance porch saw the intluence of Art Deco architecture, a concrete flat root with square shape pediment with a plate in the middle bearing the mosque name in Malay Jawi script. It was probably influenced by the development of such a style that was being popularised then in the colonial town of Melaka
The mosque's building is formed of a square layout, elevated with five steps. It leads to the surrounding veranda area, fringed with a small balustrade and concrete round columns. Various entrance doors give easy access and natural ventilation into the mosque's interior spaces.
Inside the main prayer hall, a timber strip ceiling above has covered up the exposed roof structure from below. The four main posts in the middle are decorated elaborately with embossed and colourful wall files. The posts stand in front of the gibla wall, where a small mihrab niche is located. To its right, a decorative mimbar platform of Javanese influence is used by the imam to deliver his Friday sermons.
