History

The mosque was established in 1997 by Haji Abdul Karim Oei Foundation by renting a building after the first Lautze Mosque was established in Jakarta.[1][2][3] Later on, the landlord donated the building to the foundation. It has undergone three renovations in 2004, 2007 and 2012. In November 2016, the mosque committees underwent reshuffle.[4]
