Old Mosque in Kabayakan district, Takengon, Central Aceh. just a few hundred meters from the Datu Beru Regional General Hospital (RSUD), this mosque is very easy to find. It's right on the edge of a big road, and just a few meters from Takengon Immigration office.

This mosque was founded in 1901.Tue mosque was originally using the roof of rumbia, the roof is made using the leaves of palm or coconut leaves. But now the roof has been replaced with a tin roof. according to the story or legend told from generation to generation, this Tue mosque is the first mosque made in central Aceh district during the rejuvenation of Reje Mamat, followed by Reje Ma'un, then Reje Ilang and then Reje Hill last Reje Ampon Zainuddin. reje means King or ruler of the region. While the name of the Tue Mosque means less is the old mosque.

The Tue Bukit Mosque, Kebayakan, was established in 1920.

still according to the story told by old people of Old Mosque in Takengon Central Aceh, at the time used to be used by the people of Kebayakan to perform the Friday prayers at the mosque. unique, because it is always mentioned used for the Friday prayer, I asked whether besides the Friday prayers there are other congregational prayers, but no one answered whether or not. However, now the mosque is not used anymore for prayer. after built another larger mosque, Tue Bukit Mosque is used as a historical site.

Currently one of the Old Mosque in Takengon Central Aceh was treated by a mother. When I went to the mosque, it was quite late, and the mother had gone home. but I see the condition of the mosque is very neat. The flowers are planted in the yard, and thrives. Mosque building looks clean and awake. A few rows of small gardens containing green onion grow well on the side of the mosque.
