Kraton Kacirebonan

Kraton Kacirebonan is a palace complex in Cirebon with white-washed walls decorated with blue Delft tiles and French chandeliers in its halls. The grounds contain multiple sections including a main pavilion, museum, and ceremonial areas for official events.

The palace was built in 1808 after a royal family member returned from Dutch captivity. It later became the residence of Sultan Muhammad Khaerudin of Cirebon.

The palace displays architectural elements from Sundanese, Javanese, Islamic, Chinese and Dutch traditions that visitors can see in the building designs and decorative details. This blend of influences appears throughout the rooms and courtyards in the layout and ornaments.

The palace is located about one kilometer southwest of another major palace in the city. Visitors can walk through different sections, with some areas being more easily accessible than others.

The palace houses a gilded coach from the 17th century that many visitors overlook when touring the grounds. Traditional objects like wayang puppets and decorated daggers are also displayed, showing local craftsmanship from that era.
