Pagaruyung Palace, Sumatra, Indonesia

4.5 (365 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Sumatra Architectural Buildings

A Great Palace to visit

Visited this rebuild palace, I was so amazed by its colourful decoration which not just colour to make it beautiful but also full of meaning. Burned for the first time and was rebuild and again burned bcoz of thunder. This palace that you visit nowadays is the second rebuild. Having less treasures that we can see, not make it unworthy to visit. You can meet the palace guide that can explain very detail. Very interesting history of the Sumatera Royal Family life. Here you can also rent a traditional custom to wear and take pictures with it..

    We visited Pagaruyung palace in August 2019. This palace is the most famous attraction in MinangKabau area. The palace is very beautiful and well preserved. It has typical architecture of Minangkabau style with peaked roofs and walls that are remarkably carved and richly decorated. Then, we visited other typical villages with very beautiful and colourful in the surroundings, i.e. Sulit Air, Pariangan and Rao Rao. Highly recommended to visit!!!

    Even this building actually was rebuilt after a big fire of big storm, it’s still has its greatness of the past. Rebuilt with very kindnesses of Minangese . The palace itself is very colorful, nice to take a picture infront of it or inside it. Nice and recommended place to visit when you are in West Sumatra .
