The building is very very complex with tons of rooms and door after door leading to another. It has a basement that looks like a dungeon and if you come here, dare yourself to go up to the attic. There's nothing in the attic but.. the bats. It's a very large complex so prepare yourself. It has many rooms but most of them are just empty rooms with historical posters about Indonesian train stations, trains, and Semarang itself. There's one spot that you should definitely take a photo of yourself there, it has pretty colorful mosaic windows, you will feel like you're in a European style church. Outside the building, there are some old locomotives parked. The ticket is very cheap, a must visit when you are in Semarang. |

The building have so many doors, that's why it called Lawang Sewu or a thousand doors. the tickets quite cheap, book tour guide for more information about the history of this building. |

Een prachtig gebouw uit de koloniale tijd. Hoewel het interieur volledig verdwenen is, is de architectuur volledig intact. Het schept een mooi beeld van de bouwstijl uit de jaren 20 van de.vorige eeuw |

Lawang Sewu, literally Thousand Doors, is a landmark in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia, built as the headquarters of the Dutch East Indies Railway Company. The colonial era building is famous as a haunted house, though the Semarang city government has attempted to rebrand it. That's what Google said. Hehe. Well it is so historical building with uncountable doors. I love the design although not all spaces are opened for public with limited lighting too in some area. Entrance fee is cheap even for foreigner. Everything is unique including toilet itself, although mostly rooms are empty. |

A place to visit when you are in Semarang. Located in the center of Semarang city. It holds a lot of Indonesia train historical pictures. The building itself is separated into 2 big buildings. Both of them have "thousands of doors" that connect each room. Apart from that, it has musical performance during the day as well. |

Good place to visit. But the underground passage are closed lately due to a renovation. There's also a group of artist playing traditional music. Enjoy the culture of East Java around this area. Dont forget to bring your camera! |

One of the vest historical site in Indonesia.<br><br>Lawang Sewu, is a heritage building that almost 100% of the structure are the original that have value in every design. (I recommend you to use guide when you want a full knowledge tour).<br><br>The structure are unique, the style is adopt the colonial era architecture style. This place is very a iconic known by it's historical value and mythical stories, because of the history that happens here.<br><br>If you visit Semarang this place is should be on top of your list. But beware, the parking space are small, so using a public transportation is the best transportation to reach this destination. |

A good place to learn about the historical things. They provided local guides that you can ask about anything. A famous mystical experience story was my favorite part. Take a look, listen to you surrounding and you will know better. |

Lawang Sewu is an old building that used to be used as an office during the colonial era. The architectures resembled classic European style. It has so many doors that is why it is called as Lawang Sewu.<br><br>Positive Point:<br>1. Very beautiful<br>2. Historical<br>3. Close to the city centre<br>4. Cheap to get in<br>5. Clean<br>6. Well managed<br>7. Staff are friendly<br>8. Long opening hours<br>9. Has museum and exhibition inside<br><br>Negative Point:<br>1. Guide are excluded and no exact fee<br>2. Some area are closed<br>3. There should be canteen with better food variants (not junk food only)<br><br>Recommendations:<br>1. Photo session using traditional clothes from the Netherlands<br>2. Toilet (old style)<br>3. Underground tour |

A good plave to visit when you are in Semarang. They have a lot of rooms and spaces but lack of collections. They should make a proper concept wether this place being a museum or instagram photo spot.<br>I mean, people dont really care about the history, theyre just taking pictures.<br>Better if they rearrange the concept so pople can enjoy the history too. |

The Catholic Dutch architecture buildings with hundreds of doors (which were rounded to thousand = Sewu/Seribu) are obviously the main attraction to this place and it's quite well-preserved by the local govt. They had quite lots of infographics to read from to know more about Lawang Sewu and had many photographs and paintings from old times to view.<br><br>You could unironically get a bit lost while exploring, or at least that's what happened to me. There are too many doors to step into and go out from. Not every story/floor is open for visitors, though.<br><br>If you're looking for a classic recreational site to visit with family, friends or loved one, this is such a good place. There are a lot of food stalls, coffee place, clothing store and even live music and CFC restaurant to spend time in.<br><br>Restrooms were under a fixing process when I visited so it wasn't quite nice. They have a Musholla for muslims to pray as well in case they need it. |

wonderful western architecture but i personally feel a bit scared cos i feel like this place is haunted. I can't explain it is right but yeah, that was how i really felt during my visit.<br>Anyway, anyone who visit Semarang should not skip this one. Try going during daytime not in the evening like i did tho. |

The best place for travel.. This place share some history about train in Indonesia.. We can take some beautiful pictures in this place, better if you go in the morning so you can get the best lighting for capture a moment in this place... The ticket price is 10.000 rupiah for adults and 5000 rupiah for children and students, and if you need a tour guide to inform you the history about Lawang Sewu you must pay minimum 70.000 rupiah/one group... |

I enjoyed visiting such places. Learning about history. I love Lawang Sewu, but there are things needed to improve such as the content of the museum, the guides, also the maps in the very beginning of the journey. LS is famous for its mystics and I would love to know about it more which I could not get it there. |

The building is old and very interesting. Hopefully PT KAI can manage to utilize all the rooms and buildings into something more profitable for the company and at the same time more entertaining for the visitors. I have problem finding the parking area and end-up parking on the street next to a small river, organised by some sort of informal street parking men. I must pay IDR 10,000 for one time parking. |

I love this place so much. The building shows nature of historical building with less modification. My tips is better hire local tour guide to give you more information about this place historically instead of listening to the ghost story. For Moeslim, there is a clean and big mosque in the building near CFC restaurant. |

Lawang Sewu is a historic building in Indonesia located in the city of Semarang, Central Java. Local people call it Lawang Sewu because the building has plenty of space, though, the number of doors does not reach a thousand. This place is perfect for vacationing on weekends with family, friends, etc. |

A historic Place in Semarang. It is an ax building of PT. Kereta Api Indonesia in the era of Nedzerland and Japanesse Colonialism. There are 3 main bulding which divide into museum, gallery show room and just empty space to take picture. Some rooms is not open for everyone. But still you can still enjoy the atmosphere and be the witness of history. |

A historical building by Dutch when they were in Semarang. This building has so many stories from the office of the public transportation until the place to did the execution in the war era in Semarang.<br>After all, the building has its own exotics include the stories and its own shape and look like. Not also good for hunting photos but also very good to know the historical stories form the tour guide that we can ask when we were here. Enjoy Semarang. |

Underutilised premise. Empty rooms etc. There's a small exhibition on railways (some taken from railway museum in Ambarawa). Other than that the place is really empty. They could fill in with more (art) stuff. The yard is a nice place though with a band playing local music. It's definitely a place to visit in Semarang but wish they could do more with the content. |

One of the most famous landmark in Semarang. Known for its spooky vibrance. Due to some reason, guests are not allowed to visit the 2nd floor. This place was a railway company at Colonial time, around early 19th century. Basically, Lawang Sewu is more like a museum for the place itself. Lots of photos which shows how Lawang Sewu in the past.<br><br>Has a good basic facilities such as toilets, bench, and souvenir shop. Unfortunately, Lawang Sewu doesn't provide a parking space. Cars and scooters has to park outside the area which only a narrow road. |

One if the main tourist attractions in Semarang, Central Java. Located in Simpang Lima. Basically it’s an old Railway Company Headquarters in Colonial era. it’s not that scary at all like all the rumour spread. Now it’s very clean and well maintained by PT KAI. In this pandemic situation they have been practicing health protocol, like checking body temperature in the check in area, wearing mask at all times and so on. They entrance fee is only 10.000 idr, you can pay digitally by Linkaja. They also offer like shuttle car to Ambarawa Railway Museum. |

Nice place to visit with a kot of knowledge of history of this place. Low price for tickets. But I hope there filled with more place to rest in a shady place at noon, more parking area too. And I’m curious about 2nd floor of the front building. From the first time I visited it always prohibited to visit. And I never visit the basement yet till it closed :( |

A Must-Visit Historical Landmark in Semarang!<br><br>Lawang Sewu is not only an iconic piece of Dutch colonial architecture but also a window into Indonesia's rich history. The building is beautifully preserved, with its tall arches and numerous doors giving it the name “Lawang Sewu” (Thousand Doors).<br><br>The museum inside tells compelling stories from the colonial period and the Japanese occupation. The underground tunnels and the old railway office add a mysterious charm to the visit. The tour guides are informative and friendly, and the nighttime illumination adds a magical touch.<br><br>Great for history buffs, photographers, and families. Don't forget to bring a camera and explore both the main hall and the basement (if you're brave enough!). |

who doesn't know Denham, the most iconic historical building in the city of Semarang.<br>yak, the name Lawang Sewu.<br>Lawang Sewu is a historical building from the Dutch colonial heritage that used to function as the center of offices at that time in short. This building has stood firmly in history since hundreds of years ago but its integrity is still maintained, which made it famous from Lawang / Pintu Sewu / Seribu to being a thousand doors. Anyway, the historical place is warm and educational for tourists because there is also a museum inside with various kinds of remains. and there is also a mango tree that is hundreds of years old in its yard that still stands today.<br>Don't forget to visit Lawang Sewu / Seribu Pintu in Semarang City. |

Suasana malamnya sunggu luar biasa. Saran untuk pengelola jadikan saja tempat ini hotel... nilai tambahnya adalah suasana horror, penambahan parfum kemenyan dan suasana dan suara angker saya yakin akan mendongkrak jumlah pengunjung. Ingat orang sangat senang dengan suasana horor, tetapi takut apabila lihat penampakan. Ayo berhoror ria. |
