Also widely known as Yumiya Mosque, or Rayo Mosque,
the compound is located to the north of town, further from the
Provincial Hall on Phichit Bamrung Road, just before the intersection
at the clock tower. This original wooden mosque was built in 1938 in
the Sumatran-style and is the burial place of the old city Lord, Phraya
Phu Pha Phakdi. Usually there is only one provincial mosque, but
because this mosque is quite small, a new mosque was built at the mouth
of Bang Nara River. However, this old mosque is still highly respected
by locals and is regarded as the central one.
