Istana Kenangan, Royal wooden palace in Kuala Kangsar, Malaysia.
The Istana Kenangan rises two stories high with yellow-painted windows, featuring diamond-shaped patterns crafted from wood and bamboo across its exterior walls.
Built in 1926 by carpenter Enci Sepian and his sons, the structure served as temporary royal quarters while awaiting the completion of Istana Iskandariah.
The palace design follows the shape of a sword in its scabbard, with the Sultan's bedchamber positioned to represent the sword handle.
Located on Jalan Istana, the palace now functions as the Perak Royal Museum, displaying collections and exhibitions about the history of Perak monarchy.
The entire palace structure stands without metal nails, demonstrating traditional Malaysian construction methods through interconnected wood and bamboo elements.
