Kampung Papan Mosque

Information

Masjid Kampung Papan is an old mosque in the town of Papan, Perak. Its design is different from most of the mosques in the state. This is because Masjid Kampung Papan was built in the Mandailing style of Sumatra. I led a group from the Penang Heritage Trust to visit this mosque. We were on a heritage tour of Perak in the company of Mr Law Siak Hong, the Vice President of the Perak Heritage Society.

According to Mr Law, Masjid Kampung Papan is the oldest mosque in the Mandailing architectural style. It is even older than mosques in the Mandailing homeland of Sumatra.
