Candra Naya, Chinese colonial residence in Kota Dua, Indonesia.

The mansion features traditional Chinese architectural elements including curved roofs, red lanterns, wooden supports, and decorative moon gates throughout its structure.

Built in 1807, Candra Naya served as the residence of the prominent Khouw family, with Khouw Kim An becoming the last Majoor der Chinezen of Batavia until 1942.

The building incorporates traditional Chinese design elements such as Tou-Kung roof frames and displays Peking Opera masks that reflect Indonesian Chinese heritage.

The main complex remains open for visits between 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM, located within the modern Green Central City commercial development in Jakarta.

Despite initial plans for complete demolition in 1995, public protests led to the preservation and integration of Candra Naya into a contemporary hotel complex.
