Standing alongside the Sungai Kapaus Kecil riverfront and close to the confluence of the Sungai Landak, the 18th-century Abdurrakhman Mosque was formerly the personal mosque of Sultan of Pontianak, Syarif Abdul Rahman, who also went by the name of Abdurrakhman. The Mesjid Abdurrakhman is best reached by taking a short canoe taxi across the river. Typically Sumatran in appearance, the mosque features a wooden roof, which is square in shape and tiered. The interior is equally elaborate and impressive. From the mosque, take a walk along the wooden boardwalk and check out the stilt houses - do make sure that you leave yourself enough time to do this.
