Kinarut Mansion, Colonial residence museum in Kinarut, Malaysia

The ruins of this mansion contain 45 doors, 152 windows, and white brick walls constructed by Indian architects with Javanese workers in 1910.

The mansion belonged to German W.F.C. Asimont, who managed the second largest rubber plantation on Sabah's west coast until his death in 1919.

The building incorporates Greco-Roman architectural elements throughout its structure, including a 200-meter avenue lined with classical columns leading to the entrance.

The museum site spans 7.09 hectares and stands 30 kilometers from Kota Kinabalu, with management overseen by the Sabah Museum administration.

Local residents report supernatural occurrences at the mansion, including sightings of a shape-shifting tree spirit known as Hantu Tinggi within the forest.
