Masjid Sultan, Kampong Glam, Singapore

Masjid Sultan

Sultan Mosque or Masjid Sultan is located at Muscat Street and North Bridge Road within the Kampong Glam precinct of the district of Rochor in Singapore. It was named after Sultan Hussain Shah. He constructed a mosque next to his palace from 1824 to 1826 with funds solicited from the East India Company. With a two-tiered pyramidal roof, it was of a typical design. The original building was replaced with a new mosque. Architect Denis Santry of Swan & Maclaren adopted a Saracenic style, incorporating minarets and balustrades.

The mosque was completed after four years in 1928. The mosque was two-thirds complete and was formally opened on 27 December 1929. The mosque was fully completed in 1932. The Sultan Mosque has stayed essentially unchanged since it was built, with only repairs carried out to the main hall in 1968 and an annex added in 1993. In 1975, it was designated a national monument.
