Cultural Acculturation on the Mosque Architecture of the Yoni Al-Mubarok Nganjuk

Abstract

This study aimed to know the culture acculturation phenomenon on the Yoni Al-Mubarok Mosque architecture
in Nganjuk, East Java. This study used a qualitative approach in its analysis. This mosque was one of the oldest
mosques in Nganjuk, which had an interesting and unique history. This mosque was born as part of Afdeeling
Berbek's existence under the rule of Sosrokusumo I, also known as Kanjeng Jimat. The mosque as a place of
worship for Muslims did not have standard rules in its architecture. Hence, the peculiarities of the mosque's
architectural form emerged according to the surrounding cultures. Therefore, it was not surprising that the Yoni
Al-Mubarok Mosque was closely related to Hindu and Chinese cultures. It caused the Al-Mubarok Mosque to
had different architectural characteristics from other mosques in the Nganjuk region.
