Sultan Mosque or Masjid Sultan, was built by and named after Sultan Hussain who decided to build a mosque befitting his status. He constructed the mosque next to his palace from 1824 to 1826 with funds solicited from the East India Company.

In the past, Sultan Mosque served as a stopover for Muslim pilgrims from the region on their hajj.
