Vice Presidential Palace

The Vice Presidential Palace is located at Jalan Merdeka Selatan Number 6 and combines classical Indonesian architectural elements with a shield-shaped roof and Doric design features. The complex consists of two main buildings connected by multiple access points from Jalan Merdeka Selatan and Jalan Kebon Sirih streets.

During Dutch colonial rule, the building originally served as the residence of the President of De Javasche Bank. It was transformed into a Vice Presidential office in 1973.

The palace displays traditional Indonesian art pieces and decorations representing different regional craftsmanship styles across the archipelago. These rooms reflect the artistic diversity found throughout the various islands.

The building is centrally located in Jakarta and easy to reach, as it borders two main streets. Visitors should check in advance which areas are accessible since this is an active government office building.

The second main building was constructed between 1988 and 1993 as an exact replica of the original structure built during the colonial period. This reconstruction allowed the historical proportions and details of the original architecture to be preserved.
