Butterworth Floating Masjid

The Butterworth Floating Masjid, officially known as Masjid Jamek Bagan Luar, is a beautiful mosque located in Butterworth. While not technically floating, it is built on stilts over the sea, which gives it a stunning "floating" appearance, especially during high tide. This architectural style makes it a unique and picturesque landmark on the Butterworth waterfront. The mosque is an active place of worship for the local Muslim community. Its serene location by the sea provides a peaceful and contemplative atmosphere for prayer. For visitors and photographers, the mosque is a beautiful subject, particularly at sunrise or sunset when the light reflects off the water, creating a spectacular scene.
