Journey Through Time at Lawang Sewu

#indonesiatrip Exploring Lawang Sewu in Semarang is like stepping into a living museum of Indonesia’s colonial past. This iconic building, known for its thousand doors, was once the headquarters of the Dutch East Indies Railway Company and now stands as a testament to the architectural grandeur of the early 20th century. As you wander through its vast halls and corridors, you’ll uncover stories of its historical significance during World War II and its reputation as a haunted site. The blend of Gothic and classical architectural styles, coupled with the eerie yet fascinating atmosphere, makes Lawang Sewu a must-visit for history buffs and those intrigued by the supernatural.
