Kowloon Mosque and Islamic Center

The first mosque building was built in 1896. Having existed for almost a century, in the 1970s it was subjected to structural defects during the construction of a metro station nearby. With the help of compensation paid by a construction company and donations from Muslims, a new mosque was built in 1984.

The building of the mosque was designed in the traditions of Muslim architecture, which distinguishes it from the modern architecture of neighboring buildings. The main features of the building are four minarets 11 meters high and white marble in the facade.

In addition to the women’s and men’s prayer rooms, the mosque houses a meeting room, a medical clinic and a library. The main prayer hall is located on the ground floor and can accommodate up to 1,000 people. The smaller one is on the top floor and surrounded by a terrace.
