Believed to have been built during the reign of Sultan Alauddin Husain Shah in the early 16th century, this compact brick mosque was unearthed from an earthen mound during archaeological excavations in 1992. It features a square prayer hall crowned by a single dome, four octagonal corner towers, and ornamental terracotta bands around the entrance archways. Located a few hundred metres west of Galakata Mosque, it sits quietly among surrounding village orchards and pond banks.
