    This church belong to GPIB, the historical church inherited by Dutch church. The building is so old, unique and strong, very artistic. This church is close to Khatedral and Istiqlal Mosque. The area of the church is so huge. Beside church building, you can find any other buildings such as offices and houses. Inside the church, you can feel Dutch vibes, all the interior and equipment. This church still has Sunday service in Dutch language, so amazing.

    Kind of write back a memory of Dutch influences during the worship. I love the sound ambience and trumpets orchestra to accompany the services. The old organ that is still funtion take my soul nearer to Almighty. I honor the moment spent here.

  • 5/5 Richard M. 4 years ago on Google
    A very old church, dating back to WW2 era. It is well preserved, there are a lot of 'form of documentation ' back to that era, inside the church. And as a bonus, there is an old-original pipe organ (and there are only a few left worldwide) that build into the center of the church itself.

  • 4/5 Jess P. 4 years ago on Google
    Historic, colonial, Dutch Reformed church with some Dutch engravings behind the pulpit (containing mostly names) in a pretty good condition. Pipe organ is still working well -- one of the few churches in Indonesia with a pipe organ. Wish building maintenance is done better considering that some paints are falling off. Overall, the church is beautiful in its 'whitewashed' simplicity, as in most classical Protestant, Reformed churches (due to generally iconoclastic views on the 2nd commandment).
