Kampung Laut Mosque is the oldest surviving mosque in Malaysia, dating back to around the early 18th century, with references to it being originally built in the 1400s. Its current location is in Nilam Puri, about 11km away from Villa Yusmah. Built in the 15th century by a group of Champa government transporters from the Kingdom of Champa. Its style is largely typical of local traditional architecture, and is climate-appropriate, similar to local houses in the area. The original mosque had a basic architectural style and structure, with four pillars for the foundation and palm fronds for the roof. By virtue of architectural resemblance, it is said that the mosque was the original Masjid Agung Demak that was built in 1401. The mosque was relocated from its original site to Kampung Laut, hence the name. During the reign of the Sultan of Kelantan between 1859 and 1900, the mosque became an important meeting point for the Sultans and religious leaders. The mosque was also used as a trading post. During this period, the mosque was expanded and upgraded with 20 pillars, a three-tiered roof, a tower for muezzin to call for prayers, an attic, and a water tank while the flooring was made of well quality timber. It has survived two big floods, the first was in 1926 by a flood known as Bah Air Merah and another in 1966. The second flood severely damaged the Mosque when parts of the mosque close to the river were swept away by flood waters. Since then the mosque has again been relocated to its present location.
