One of the most visited tours in Banda aceh is one of them, Baiturrrahman Grand Mosque, where many tourists visit this beautiful place. But besides the Baiturrahman Mosque, Banda Aceh has another beautiful mosque, the Keuchik Leumik Mosque. This mosque is located in the village of Lamseupung, this mosque is 34 22 meters wide, stands on an area of 3,500. At the top there is a large dome surrounded by four small domes. Complementing the existence of a 52 meter tall tower.
when entering the mosque area we are like being in a mosque in the Middle East, with a very clean courtyard and palm trees around it making the mosque very beautiful to look at and bring its own comfort to worshipers and visitors who come from outside Aceh. Viewed from any side, this mosque will look attractive. The entire building is light brown with a golden color combination. The Middle Eastern style is so thick.
When we enter the mosque we will see the interior that makes everyone amazed. The ornaments inside are very artistic, the most striking like the pulpit area which is contained in brass calligraphy carvings. On it hung two large decorative lights. The three meter diameter chandelier that hangs inside the dome and the calligraphy adds to the luxury of this mosque.
In my opinion there is a distinct difference between the Baiturrahman Mosque and the Keuchik Leumik Mosque. Baiturrahman Mosque is more like the Nabawi Mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia, while the keuchik leumik mosque is more like a mosque in Turkey, Spain and Istanbul. Maybe there are some of the readers who have seen TV shows during the month of Ramadan, one of them is "Muslim travelers", you can see the atmosphere that resembles the mosque there.
How to get there?
If you want to visit the Keuchik Leumik Mosque, just follow the river bank on the left after the bridge to Simpang Surabaya from the direction of Jambo Tape. About 200 meters from the highway, we can see the mosque's tower and dome colored thick milk. That is the magnificent Keuchik Leumik Mosque.
