The Bingkudu Mosque (sometimes spelled or written as Bengkudu Mosque and also called Jamik Bingkudu Mosque) is one of the oldest mosques in Indonesia. It was founded by the Padri in the wake of the Padri War in West Sumatra in 1823.[1][2] This mosque with typical Minangkabau style architecture is located in Jorong Bingkudu, Nagari Canduang Koto Laweh, Canduang District, Agam Regency, West Sumatra.[3] When it was first built, the building of the mosque was made of wood on its floor, pole, and wall.[4]
Currently, in addition to being used as an Islamic worship activity and a means of religious education for students, Bingkudu Mosque is also used as the headquarters of the Jorong Bingkudu Poverty Eradication Coordinating Team.[5] It was also designated by the government of Agam Regency as a cultural heritage in 1989.[6] Thus in 1991, the mosque began to experience an overall restoration.[7]
