It is a very interesting place.<br>Unfortunately the basement prison was not open to the public.<br>I suggest using the local Lawang Sewu (one thousand doors) guide (they charge about Rp100. 000 for 1hr tour). They can explain very well the history of Lawang Sewu, and take you to nice spot for taking excellent pics. |

Lawang Sewu, a place that is popularly known by most Indonesian people because of its story. Lawang Sewu, a place that what we call as a ghost-hunter will mostly choose to do his hunting. What is Lawang Sewu actually? Well, let me describe this place to you!<br>Lawang Sewu, is a bulid that is situated in a city in Central Java that is Semarang. Lawang Sewu that had started to be built in 1904 and finished in 1907 used to be used as an office of NIS (Nederlands-Indische Spoooweg Maatschappij) that is a Nederland Train Company that operated in Indonesia at colonialize time.<br>Lawang Sewu literally means as “A thousand Doors”. People in Semarang calls this place as Lawang Sewu as this building has many door though if we count the doors it is not exactly a thousand doors. In fact, it is less than a thousand doors. Lawang Sewu itself is a two-storey building and now, it is used as an office by Indonesian Train Company since 1945 besides this building is now also open for a local people or tourism to visit.<br>As an old building, lawing Sewu has its own spooky story. Many paranormal activities has been reported from this place. A scream, a voice of woman crying, an appearance of a Dutch soldiers, have been a part of story that cannot be separated from this place. Lawang Sewu has reached the peak of spooky place popularity in central Java. Rumor has it that lawing Sewu is actually a place of Dutch and Japanese as people who accidently saw a ghost in this place always said that the ghost always used a Dutch or Japanese soldier uniform.<br>The ghosts of Japanese soldiers are reported to be seen in a room in the building frontage. They, according to people that have seen them, are Japanese soldiers that looks cruel. They have no nice place, no smile and also they have a long moustache. They bring a samurai in their hands.<br>Not only there is an appearance of a Japanese soldiers, voices of a woman screaming is also a common thing you will find in this place. The voice is told to be a voice of woman that screams in pain. The voices is sometimes followed by a voice tramps of boots. Sometimes, when you are “lucky” enough, you will see a long-haired woman that is walking along the building corridor who has dim illuminations. The woman is told to walk with an empty stare, and as you look at her, she will gives you a scary and threatening face expression.<br>In the building crypt, there were jails and bunkers. That Bunker was used to imprison Indonesian people or enemies. This jail is called “standing Jail” by Indonesia people. Why? because the prisoners put in this jail had to stand crammed as this place is really narrow. Its width is only 60cmx 1m and commonly, there would be 5 or 6 people that were forcedly put inside the jail. People who was thrown in this jail would commonly die in a short time, and those who still alive after the other’s died would be chopped in his head. The chopped head then would be thrown on the river flowing besides the building. Now, sometimes the scent of the blood or the corpse will be smelled when you are in this place though now the place has been cleaned.<br>Moreover, if you sit all alone in this place and wait for a little longer, then you will get a little “gift”. You will see a green-eyed creatures that’s is believed to crawl in the building ceiling. That creature will crawl to everyone who successfully see it. So, if you successfully see this creature then I suggest to wear a running Nike shoes.<br>Besides the jails in the crypt, there is a torture chamber. This chamber is a place of head-chopping. In this place is believed to a “nest” of chopped-head people’s spirits. The spirits in this place sometimes show their appearance in a very breath-taking form. They will be seen as a person who walk and bring their own head in their hand. |

A historic place which was used as Colonial Train Service Headquarter. The place is clean, the atmosphere is far from spooky. A lot of doors make inside room cooler than outside. A number of room is left empty due to limited items to show. |

A part of the history of the building has been wiped out. During the Japanese occupation in WW2, first Dutch people and later also Indonesian people were tortured and usually after some time beheaded. This took place in the cellars which now are closed. Those people sat on concrete banks with their feet up to the shins in the water. They only saw light when the Japanese would behead someone. Witnesses who survived told that they considered the beheading as "deliverance" because it would end their suffering. So Indonesia is again ignoring a part of their history. Besides that, the water in the basement plays an important role for the natural airconditioning. |

A signature tourist attraction of Semarang. Originally the HQ of the Dutch railway company in, today it is a well-preserved historical landmark. If you want to enjoy your visit while learning the historical context of the landmark, be sure to have a guide with you. Parking area is quite scarce |

Cool historical place with a lot of story behind it , Semarang landmark . And it's a must place if u come to semarang , try to come here at night dare your self ..<br><br>By mean lawang sewu is "thousand doors" , 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.<br><br>If u come here and experienced paranormal activity such a kuntilbiang , headless ghoul and Dutch women and kuntilanak, you guys will never forget it . |

Oud gebouw met een historische waarde waar men een museum van gemaakt heeft. Ondanks de historische waarde is het gebouw toch enigszins verwaarloosd. Veel kamers staan leeg en een aantal is gevuld met oude foto’s of oude uniformen. Het stelt allemaal niet zoveel voor. Buiten staat een oude stoomlocomotief. |

A historical building belongs to Indonesian Railway Company. Built by Dutch East Indies Railway Company, completed in 1919 or over a century ago, now it serves as a museum. Abandoned for a long time, IRC began to renovate parts of it since 2010. Easy to find as it located in the middle of the town. Admission fee is just Rp.10.000 as of December 2019. Recommended. |
