Michiels Monument, Dutch colonial monument in Padang, Indonesia.
The Michiels Monument stood at a height of 14.4 meters, constructed with cast iron walls covered in European reliefs and multiple Gothic-style levels.
Built in 1855 at Michielsplein near present-day Adityawarman Museum, the monument commemorated Dutch General Andreas Victor Michiels until its destruction during Japanese occupation.
The monument represented Dutch colonial influence in Sumatra through its European architectural elements, marble foundation, and prominent position in central Padang.

This structure belonged to a set of three identical monuments erected in major Indonesian cities: Padang, Batavia, and Surabaya.
