St. Paul's Church, Jakarta, Protestant church building in Menteng, Jakarta, Indonesia

St. Paul's Church features a cross-shaped layout with steep roofs, skylights, and a tall spire containing four functional clock faces.

Originally named Nassau Church, the building was constructed in 1936 under Dutch colonial rule and designed by architect Frans Johan Louwrens Ghijsels.

During the Japanese occupation in 1944, the church transitioned from Dutch to Malay services, reflecting the shifting cultural dynamics of Indonesia.

The church structure spans two floors and accommodates 600 people, making it a central religious facility in the Menteng district.

The building exemplifies the New Indies Style architecture, combining Dutch Rationalism with adaptations for the Indonesian environment.
