Architecture
The mosque, which is currently one of the religious attractions in the city of Surabaya, is surrounded by buildings with Chinese and Arab architecture. In the left side of the mosque, there is a well that is believed to be the auspicious well, typically used by those who believe to strengthen a pledge or oath.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FCoWAgAAQBAJ&q=ampel+mosque&pg=PA135| title=Architecturalized Asia: Mapping a Continent through History|first1=Vimalin|last1=Rujivacharakul|first2=H.
