The mosque is a stilt house, made out of ironwood and with a three-story roof. The mihrab has its own roof, separate from the main building. The mosque's architectural style, particularly the layered roof, was taken from the Great Mosque of Demak, which took influence from the architecture of the Hindu-Buddhist civilizations of Java and Bali.
The mosque was renovated twice, first in 1978 and again in 1999. It was named a cultural heritage site on May 23, 2008.[1]
