Tuo Kayu Jao Mosque (Indonesian: Old Mosque of Kayu Jao) is an old mosque in Indonesia which is located in Jorong Kayu Jao, Batang Barus Nagari, Gunung Talang District, Solok Regency, West Sumatra.[2] Existence of the mosque was already recorded since 1599, making it the oldest mosque in Solok Regency and among the oldest surviving mosques in Indonesia.[3][2]
The mosque is registered on the list of heritages in West Sumatra which is overseen by the Preservation Hall of Ancient Relics.[4] The mosque has been restored several times, including the restoration of one of the pillars and replacement of the old palm roof with a new one due to its erosion. Even undergoing those restorations, however, the authenticity of the mosque is well-preserved.
It is not known exactly what year the mosque was actually completed. Based on a number of records, the mosque is considered built in 1599,[5][6] while other records show older dates.[4] Apart from these differences, it is known that the construction of the mosque was made following the proliferation of Islam in the Solok region in the 16th century.[3]Nagari where the mosque is located has been previously established by the three leaderships of the Minangkabau community.[5][6] According to the local community leaders, there are two people who played a role in the construction of this mosque, namely Angku Musaur and Angku Labai, both of which are buried not far from the mosque.[4]
