Silinduang Bulan Palace

Silinduang Bulan Palace, Royal palace in Tanah Datar Regency, Indonesia.

Silinduang Bulan Palace is a royal residence in Tanah Datar Regency in West Sumatra featuring traditional Minangkabau architecture with angled roofs, intricate wooden carvings, and elevated platforms. The main structure is complemented by several supporting buildings that form the complete compound.

Named Silinduang Bulan when the Pagaruyung king moved it from Ulak Tanjuang Bungo to Balai Janggo in 1550, the palace was rebuilt in 1750. It burned during the Padri War in 1821 and was rebuilt in 1869 by Yang Dipertuan Gadih Puti Reno Sumpu. Burned again in 1961, it was reconstructed from 1987 and inaugurated in 1989, then burned on 21 March 2010 and has since been renovated.

The palace functions as a gathering place for clan meetings and preserves objects tied to Minangkabau royal families. These spaces show how central the building remains to local community life and traditions.

The palace is located about 5 kilometers (3 miles) north of Batu Sangkar on Jalan Sutan Alam Bagagarsyah and welcomes visitors interested in regional architecture. The site is reasonably accessible and offers a good opportunity to learn about Minangkabau building traditions firsthand.

The palace is itself a rumah gadang sambilan ruang, a nine-bay Minangkabau house measuring 28 by 8 metres, built in the alang babega form reserved for a king. Its 52 posts carry separate names, and the one right of the entrance is the tonggak tuo. Two rice barns, Si Bayau-bayau and Si Tinjau Lauik, stand in the yard.
