Masjid Kg Kling completed in 1748. The architecture of this mosque is Sumatran with strong Hindu Influences. This is particularly evident in minaret which resembles a pagoda on closer inspection, you will find an unsual blend of English and Portuguese glaze tiles, Corinthian columns with symmetrical arches in the main prayer hall, a Victorin chandeller and Moorish cast iron lamp-posts in the place of abulation for pre-prayer cleansing. The Kampung Kling mosque remains central the Malay community life.
