Istana Bung Hatta, Presidential palace in Bukittinggi City, Indonesia

The Istana Bung Hatta is a presidential palace located in central Bukittinggi with a total building area of approximately 3,600 square meters. The structure features a rectangular footprint and stands as an important landmark in the city.

The original building was destroyed in 1948 during the Second Dutch-Indonesian War. The palace was reconstructed in 1961 and has served as an important site of national significance since then.

The grounds feature two statues honoring Mohammad Hatta, reminding visitors of his importance to the nation. You can discover these monuments while walking through the property and learn about his role in Indonesia's story.

The building is open for visits from Wednesday through Monday, with guided tours available during these days. Morning visits allow you more time to explore the grounds thoroughly.

In 1965 a ceremony took place here where the president's wife received a traditional Minangkabau title. This event shows how national leadership connected with local traditions of the region.
