Bank Indonesia (Jalan Batang Arau 60)

Built in 1830, this building is the former De Javasche Bank. Nowadays it is still used as abank, a branch of the Bank Indonesia. The pyramid roof shape is a characteristic of colonial

Dutch buildings in Indonesia. While the roof coverings of many other colonial buildings have

been changed to tin sheets, the roof of the former De Javasche Bank is still covered with tiles.

The windows are narrow but high which improved wind circulation and cooled down the interior.

Also the windows on the top of the building served for ventilation purposes.

(Jalan Gereja 43)

This catholic cathedral was built in 1933 and has a gothic art deco architecture with curvewindows. It is still in its original shape and well maintained, but suffered considerably during the
