Kampung Luar Batang today is located at the northern end of Jakarta, which belongs to former Sunda Kelapa, the oldest area of Jakarta, about 100 meters to northwest of Kota (Batavia). The oldest mosque, Al-Aydrus Masjid, which was built in 1739, is located in Kampung Luar Batang and attracts pilgrims from other areas of Jakarta city, and had been declared as one of cultural heritages by the issuance of Governor Decree No. 475/1993. However, the area suffered a huge influx of population especially after independent, because of which its living environmental condition has deteriorated.
