The uppermost roof-tier is much steeper than the rest of the roof tiers; four hatches provide cross ventilation.

An entrance is located at the west end of the complex, forming a gateway building.

On the top of this gateway is a 3 x 4.2 meter roofed space to announce prayer (replacing the function of a minaret).

The current mosque building was probably built in early 17th-century, around 1606,[1] by the ninth Sultan Hamzah.

The mosque has been restored several times, including the replacement of the original sago thatched material of the roof with corrugated steel, as well as demolition of some of the fence and other additional buildings.

In this ceremony, the Sultan and his family arrived at the mosque in a palanquin, performed the tarawih prayer, helped by the Bobato Akhirat (the Sultanate council of religious matter), and then returned to his kedaton ("palace") in a palanquin.
