Istana Seri Menanti, Royal timber palace in Kuala Pilah, Malaysia.
The four-story wooden structure rises 65 feet high, supported by 121 pillars and features traditional Malay architectural elements throughout its design.
Construction of the palace began in 1902 under Tuanku Muhammad ibni Almarhum Tuanku Antah, replacing the previous Istana Baroh and completing in 1908.
The palace exhibits intricate Malay woodcarvings and architectural elements that represent the royal heritage of Negeri Sembilan and its connection to Minangkabau traditions.
Visitors can reach the palace museum through Kuala Pilah town, with guided tours available from 10 AM to 5 PM except during official ceremonies.
The entire palace structure was assembled without using any metal nails or screws, relying solely on traditional mortise and tenon joinery techniques.
