Palace Kasepuhan, Royal palace in Cirebon, Indonesia

The Kasepuhan Palace extends across 10 hectares with white buildings, including a throne room, royal living quarters, and reception areas for guests.

Established in 1529 by Prince Mas Mochammad Arifin II, the Kasepuhan Palace stands as the oldest palace complex in Java with continuous royal residence.

The palace architecture combines Indonesian, Hindu, Chinese, and Dutch elements, with intricate carvings on columns and blue Delft tiles adorning white walls.

Visitors can explore the palace museum containing royal heirlooms, including the Kereta Kencana Singa Barong wagon, recognized by UNESCO for its craftsmanship.

The Lawang Sanga building, positioned along the Krayan River, functioned as a customs office where officials collected taxes on foreign goods entering the kingdom.
