The official residence of the rulers of the state of Kelantan during the early 19th century, this palace was used until 1840. Its close proximity to the river meant that it was prone to flooding. Thus a new palace was built further inland to replace it.
Built in the 1730s, this mosque is believed to be the oldest in the region. A group of missionaries who survived a life threatening ordeal out at sea decided to build this mosque at the place where they landed safely.
