The mosque is strategically positioned to anchor the western side of the Blora Alun-Alun, following the traditional Javanese urban planning model that pairs a mosque with a town square.
The structure serves as the main venue for official regency-level religious ceremonies and communal Islamic observances in the Blora administrative region.
The mosque features a distinct roof architecture that echoes the classic tiered style prevalent in historic Central Javanese mosque design.
The interior layout is optimized to accommodate large-scale Friday congregational prayers for the local population.
Great Mosque Baitunnur Blora serves as the primary congregational place of worship for the Blora Regency in Central Java.

As a regional landmark, the mosque is centrally integrated into the civic activities of the town. The facility provides extensive amenities for ablution and prayer, accommodating large crowds during communal prayers and Islamic holidays. It acts as a focal point for local religious social gatherings and community events.
