Colonial Architecture In Jakarta
Colonial buildings and structures in Jakarta include those that were constructed during the Dutch East Indies, Dutch colonial period of Indonesia. The period (and the subsequent style) succeeded the earlier period when Jakarta (known then as Jayakarta/Jacatra), governed by the Sultanate of Banten, were completely eradicated and replaced with a walled city of Batavia. The dominant styles of the colonial period can be divided into three periods: the Dutch Golden Age (17th to late 18th century), the transitional style period (late 18th century – 19th century), and Dutch modernism (20th century). Dutch colonial architecture in Jakarta is apparent in buildings such as houses or villas, churches, civic buildings, and offices, mostly concentrated in the administrative city of Central Jakarta and West Jakarta. Below is a list of colonial buildings and structures found in Jakarta. The list is sorted alphabetically according to its official (local) name. The list can also be sorted to eac ...

Batavia Castle
Batavia Castle ( nl, Kasteel Batavia, ) was a fort located at the mouth of Ciliwung River in Jakarta. Batavia Castle was the administrative center of Dutch East India Company (VOC) in Asia. Batavia Castle was also the residence of the Governor General, the highest VOC official in the Dutch East Indies who chaired the Council of the Indies, the executive committee that made decisions in the Dutch East Indies. Batavia Castle was demolished in 1809 by Governor General Herman Willem Daendels. History Originally, Batavia Castle was a small fortress which was developed into a castle since 1620, when the VOC succeeded in occupying Jayakarta. In 1629, the small fort was enlarged and strengthened to serve as a defense for the city of Batavia from the siege of the troops of the Mataram Sultanate. Pieter Both, the first elected Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies appointed Captain Jacques l'Hermite to purchase 2,500 square ''vadem'' (10,000 square yards) of land in Jayakarta in ...

Citadel Prins Frederik
The Citadel Prins Frederik, also called Fort Prins Frederik, was a fortification built in 1837 by the Dutch in Batavia (now Jakarta), in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). It was located at Wilhelmina Park, which demolished around 1961 and replaced by the Istiqlal Mosque. The local people often referred to the fort as ''Gedung Tanah'' (The Ground Building). History Origins The site was once the location of a tavern, built before 1669. In 1723 sergeant-major Herman van Baijen rebuilt the tavern as a large country house. Later, from 1743 to 1820, the building was used as a hospital, called the Outer Hospital because it was outside the city walls. The location was considered healthy since it was in the low hills inland from Batavia, so the risk of malaria was lower. The site was in what would become Wilhelmina Park in the Weltevreden area, today's Sawah Besar, between the two branches of the Ciliwung River. The surrounding countryside was extremely fertile, with deep, rich t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
