The name Lawang Sewu is from Javanese, it means "Thousand Doors" because you can find a lot of doors here. Lawang sewu is historical landmark located in the center of the town. I ask the local and they said there was a standing prison under the building. Entrance fee is cheap around 10.000 rupiah or 1$, you can hire tour guide too for 10.000 rupiah or 1$. Best time to visit lawang sewu is around 18:00 because you can see a beautiful view around the building. If you think this place is haunted or something, just keep your behaviour around the building and follow the rules. Do not ever enter a room that forbidden! |

Historic site of old station in Semarang. Being told that it's been renovated a few years ago to maintain its cleannes, most of the renovation didnt change the building much. Great place to educate child, photohunting, or just hangout with friends. Theres part of the building that leads to basement that people say been used for prisoning people in colonial era. The ticket sold for 10.000 rupiahs each person(local tourist), affordable. |

One of the must visit list if you're in Semarang. Ticket 10k for domestic. Lawang Sewu (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. It's a bit spooky but very exotic place! |

The Details are awesome, so historical building.. Even at night (i entered the building at 7pm).. Not so creepy like the movie "lawang sewu" all the rooms had a bright light... Many useful information, miniature, artistic, full of instagramable spot by this own beauty. But for honesty, if there are any rooms are not bright enough at night... Feels creepy. Xoxoxo... Enjoy the Lawang sewu 😍 must visit yea.. Any other travel destination or modeling picture at IG qurniaandayani |

One of Historical Landmarks in Semarang. Lawang Sewu is one of the most wonderful colonial buildings from the Dutch East Indies, perhaps the greatest from the first decade of the twentieth century. It is a splendidly extravagant with its domes, stained glass ornamentation, hundreds of wooden doors and shutters and long, breezy verandas. Originally the headquarters of a private railway concession, it later fell into disuse and dilapidation. However, it has novw been restored and opened as a museum. |

Lawang Sewu is one of Semarang historical tourism objects, which was built during the Dutch colonial. Lawang Sewu means thousand doors, even though it has only 429 doors and 600 large windows. All the materials was imported from Europe.<br>Built in 1904 -1907 as the head office of NIC, one of train's companies in the Dutch East Indies.<br>The building has 4 different building are building A & B the bigger building in the area and the smaller building are C & D.<br><br>In 1942, Japanese army took over and turned the building dungeon B as underground prisons it supposedly serves as a water reservoir in Dutch era.<br>And the sad stories began.<br>The prison were built 16 tanks measuring 1,5x1,5 meters for 6 prisoners each tank and filled up with the water until their necks.<br>The other prison were 16 standing room size jailed 1 x 1 meter for 5-8 prisoners.<br>And railway to the exit had executions room.<br>The prisons closed for public now as many tourists are taking selfie which is not respect for the victims.<br><br>If you want to visit, I am suggesting to rent a guide tour and he/she will explain all the details of the building.<br><br>Grab bicycles rent are also available.<br>Tickets entry only 10K for adult. |

The most haunted building in Semarang. Unfortunately we can't go underground to see the underground prison existence. It was a huge stronghold with the Dutch architecture. You only need to pay for 10,000 IDR to enter this museum. |

Lawang sewu<br><br>If we translation lawang sewu you can say a thousand doors, yes a thousand doors, this place has a lot of doors but actually not until one thousand, but too much for 1 building 😊.<br><br>This building become famous when Indonesian tv shows dare people to stay in here one night full, to see whether people has guts or not. Because this place it said haunted.<br>And voilà when that tv shows begin “they” are appearance.<br><br>This building become cultural heritage also by Semarang city government, because in that time this building was a colonial train office.<br><br>To reach this building it’s not difficult u can find it on digital maps or near simpang lima.<br><br>Now this building become a beautiful building because state government already put a lot of light so haunted nuance disappear.<br>There’s also praying room and toilet for visitors.<br><br>For parking area it’s very small so visitor who come with car can parking their vehicle inside the area or on the street. |

Het interessante bestemming, zeker als je geïnteresseerd bent in de (koloniale) geschiedenis van Indonesië. Dit is het voormalige administratiegebouw van de Nederlands-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij, ook wel bekend als het "gebouw met duizend deuren" of Lawang Sewu. Maar eigenlijk zijn er geen duizend deuren, het zijn er een paar honderd. Door ze allemaal open te zetten kon de wind door de kamers heen waaien, waardoor de temperatuur (zeker in het pre-airco tijdperk) toch voldoende dragelijk was om te kunnen werken. Ook zou er een speciale techniek met water in de kelder bij horen die de warme lucht afkoelt, maar hoe dat precies werkt is mij niet duidelijk.<br>Verder zijn er rondleidingen door delen van het pand mogelijk. Op de begane grond bevinden zich tegenwoordig allemaal (souvenir)winkeltjes in de voormalige kantoorruimtes. En op de eerste verdieping zijn er in enkele van de voormalige kantoorruimtes tentoonstellingen over de geschiedenis van de spoorwegmaatschappij en over het gebruik van het pand door de kempeitai (Japanse gestapo) tijdens de Japanse bezetting. Met betrekking tot dat laatste kan je nog de rondleiding door de kelders doen (kelderbezoek), waarbij dan wordt verteld dat de gevangenen in kleine ruimten in groepen werden opgesloten, vaak ook nog in het water. Verder is er ook de rondleiding door de mooie directiekamers en naar de zolder inclusief de torens, die mooi gecamoufleerde watertorens bleken te zijn.<br>Het pand is, doordat het nog steeds in gebruik is, redelijk goed onderhouden. Wel zijn de meeste ruimtes op de verdiepingen leeg, dus je moet een beetje zoeken naar de aanwezige tentoonstellingen. Je krijgt wel een goede indruk van de omvang van het pand. |

Lawang Sewu (“Thousand Doors”), a historical landmark of Semarang, Central Java; was built as the headquarters for the Dutch East Indies Railway Company. After the war, the Indonesian army took away the complex and was later returned to the national railway company.

A great window into the various stages of colonial history in Java and a must while in Semerang. The building is massive and while the exhibits are nothing special, the building itself, including the stained glass, is gorgeous. There is also a legend that the basement is haunted, although the ability to go down there seems to be in flux. I was not allowed in, but I know some people who have. |

A historical place, where it was used as a jail and torture place at imperial age. Now it's a railway and train museum. Come here early in the morning so you can get its best view before others visitors make it crowded. Rent a guide is very recommended, and they will tell you what happened there. |

I love old architecture! That's why i love this building. It build in 1904, took time around 3 years to complete. They used it for Train Office, then government office, then in Japanese era become Jail in the dungeon. All those horror story looks like real... But i love to just sit down beneath the big tree in their yard... Calming and beautiful. Hope the government can develop more, and renovate it like Museum Bank Indonesia / Mandiri in Jakarta Old Town... |

There is some music traditional live performence at the field. there is no toilet/bathroom here. But when i went there, 2nd floor are forbidden.

Everybody says this place is creepy and ghostly. Maybe it's true, but to me its a train museum. Used to be the train office back in the colonial time. This place is huge and true to its name LAWANG SEWU or A THOUSAND DOORS. Hmmm... Maybe i should have a guide, maybe he can tell me the stories of this place....a ghost one perhaps. Definitely will come again 😋 |

Historical landmark at the heart of Semarang. Well preserved and must be maintained all the time for future generations to see.<br>Used to be a train office, while the basement was once used as tormenting place and underground prison by the Dutch colony when they ruled Indonesia.<br>What to see here;<br>1. The mozaic window glass on the 2nd floor on the top of the stairs.<br>2. The 3D train laser figures in the front building.<br>3. All the boards of train history at the front building.<br>4. The documentary movie about Indonesia train history in the backside building.<br>5. The Doors!!! The many doors which make up the name "Lawang Sewu" that means "1000 Doors" in Javanese. So many picturesque doory sites that pop up good ideas for pictures.<br>Tips:<br>1. During the day, the air will most likely be hot & steamy, so better bring a hat, sunglasses, water spray for face, water in bottles, perfume (to keep out bad odors).<br>2. Get your camera ready (ofcourse du-uh LoL)<br>3. Pay attention to signs, not all the areas can be entered. (In July 2018, 2nd floor & basement are prohibited)<br>Good luck. |
