Masjid Tuha Lam Ura (MAHS-IDN-ACH-ABS-STG-S-00-F-0001) is a mosque built in a traditional local style of Aceh. It has a two-tiered roof atop a structure of wooden posts built on a square plan. There are four main pillars in the middle of the structure, with twelve supporting pillars along the edges. The upper beams feature some ornamental carvings. Its sides are open above a short masonry wall around the perimeter, allowing for ventilation. There is a small tank just outside that is used for performing ablutions before prayer. Nearby the mosque is a small pavillion built on stilts that was used for religious education. The roof has been renovated using metal sheets to replace the original thatch.
