Architecture edit
The large domed mausoleum building atop of a hill overlooking Kampong Ayer was built during the reign of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III in 1965. The building's architecture is a combination of Islamic, Modern and local Malay styles.
Beside the main mausoleum, there were also 3 smaller domed mausoleum around the compound.
- The mausoleum of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin I, Sultan Muhammad Tajuddin, Sultan Muhammad Jamalul Alam I and Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien II.
- The mausoleum of Sultan Muhammad Kanzul Alam and his descendants, located on a hill on the Royal mausoleum compound.
- The mausoleum of Sultan Abdul Momin.
As of May 2021, a new expansion has been made for the Royal Mausoleum, which follows the same architecture as the initial one. This expansion has been made to accommodate more graves for the ruling royal family.
