The Nur ul-Ihsan Mosque is the oldest mosque in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia.
It was built in 1813[1] by the Cham community. It survived the Khmer rouge regime which transformed it into a pigsty,[2] but was demolished in the 1990s and replaced with a new building of Middle Eastern design financed by a donation from Kuwait.[3]
It is situated 7 km north of the centre of the city.
