Unfortunately during our visit to Malacca, we found the Kampung Kling Mosque closed for restoration so were unable to visit inside to see the interesting architectural design and the pagoda shaped minaret for which this mosque is somewhat famed. Kampung Kling is located on Jalan Tukang Emas, what is called Harmony Street due the close proximity of this mosque to... More

The actual mosque is currently closed for major renovations. Seeing the old tower was interesting, but unless you just happen to already be walking down this street, I wouldn't bother seeking it out.

Finding a Chinese Pagoda like "building" located within a Mosque territory is so amazing ! Another interesting point is that the temple is just next to the Jonker Walk, where the Chinese are mainly Buddhism dominant. The acceptance of people with different religious belief to live together in harmony is observed.

This mosque is 150 years old and has a unique 3-tiered pyramidal roof and 6-tiered Chinese pagoda like minaret. You can walk inside of the little garden and sort of see the inside of the mosque which you can't enter unless you are a Muslim (doesn't seem fair considering we allow people of all religions to enter our Christian churches)

This temple is that it is located right beside a Chinese temple and an Indian temple. It is around the vicinity of Jonker Walk. Good to go in and take a look when you are there. However when visiting this mosque, remember to wear long pants and long sleeves attire where possible.

This mosque architecture is unique & interesting from the minaret to it's entrance which is very much unique. Did not get the opportunity to visit the inside though!

This mosque is very small, and a few minutes is all it takes for a look around, but its pagoda-like minaret, tiled base and tiered roof all mark it out as an historic community mosque of some note. This charming mosque is not large but it is much more attractive than many of the modern giants which can be found... More
