Ancient Batak Village on Samosir Island

Huta Siallagan was my last stop of Samosir round the island trip as it was within walking distance to my hotel in Tuk-Tuk Timbul. In the Batak language, Huta Siallagan means the Village of Siallagan Clan. The village was founded by King Siallagan hundreds of years ago. There are a number of traditional Bolon and Sopo houses which are traditional houses of the Batak people. At the center of Huta Siallagan you can see two sets of large stones carved into chairs encircling a stone table. These stone furniture artifacts are called Batu Parsidangan, meaning “Stones for Meetings and Trials”. Entrance fee Rp10,000. #laketoba #samosir #toba #batukursi #museum #batak #history #village #ancient Village
