The Lost World Castle

The Lost World Castle, Castle attraction in Sleman, Indonesia.

Description

The Lost World Castle is a castle-themed attraction built on Mount Merapi's slopes using volcanic rock for its stone walls. The site has multiple themed zones and photo spots spread across its grounds.

History

This attraction was established after Mount Merapi's 2010 eruption destroyed nearby villages. Local residents founded it in 2016 as a way to rebuild their community's economy.

Culture

The site reflects how local people have transformed a damaged area into a place of hope and community pride. Visitors can see how residents have channeled their creativity and resilience into shaping a destination that brings people together.

Practical

The site is accessible daily and offers walking paths across different levels of the grounds. Wear sturdy shoes since the terrain is uneven and features hillside paths.

Did you know?

The site features photo installations inspired by Japanese television shows, including a gate with wings and a ship model. These themed details show how the builders used creativity to make each visit memorable.
