History

The construction of this mosque was initiated by Rajo Kacik in 1800. At first the location of the mosque was a muddy ground area, [2] but then because of the increasing danger of collapse, [3] in 1942 it was rebuilt not far from the original location, which is the location where the mosque stands today.
