Colomadu

Colomadu is an administrative district in Karanganyar, a region of Central Java. It comprises eleven villages arranged across a relatively flat area, creating a mixed rural landscape with scattered settlements.

The district grew around a sugar mill built in the 19th century by a local ruler, which shaped economic activity for generations. The factory continued operating until the late 20th century, leaving behind industrial structures that remain part of the landscape.

Each of the eleven villages within Colomadu maintains distinct traditions and practices that contribute to the district's social fabric and community life.

As an administrative district, it lacks major tourist facilities, but the area is accessible by road. The converted factory building that now serves as a museum offers the main reason for a visitor to stop here.

The old factory building has been converted into a museum that preserves and tells the story of industrial production. Visitors can see machinery and work areas that recall the era when processing took place here.
