Wapauwe Old Mosque

The 15th century mosque has been maintained by keeping its original wooden form, using no nails but tied with ijuk fiber ropes.

Its founder, Maulana Kiai Pati, was an Islamic missionary from the coast of Nukuhaly, Seram Island.

In 1464, another group of Muslims led by Kyai Jamilu from the Sultanate of Jailolo, on the island of Halmahera in North Maluku.

The renovation in 1895 also installed lime concrete reinforcement on the lower side of the wooden wall, and replaced the original coral gravel-layered floor with cement.

In 1977, the Armed Forces' Military Districts of the area, the Komando Daerah Militer XVI/Pattimura, installed fences along the periphery.

An official plaque was installed and inaugurated by the Head of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Bachtiar Rifai.

In 1993, the charity work of the 733rd Airborne Battalion undertook the construction of additional facilities, such as porches, pump wells, and garden ponds.

Nur Cahya is the granddaughter[4] of Arikulapessy and a student of the mosque's founder Kiai Pati.

These main pillars were made of kanjoli or bintanggur wood (Calophyllum soulattri) which grows in abundance in the coastal area of Tanah Hitu.
