This is one of the most well known church and the oldest Christian church in Semarang. Also called as "Gereja Blenduk/Church Blenduk", it is such a wonderful classic masterpiece. The shape of the building (neo-classic style) makes us remember to the church in Europe. The church is currently active and well-maintained. It also has baroque organ that inactive because of the unavailable parts. Good for selfie, and adjacent to Srigunting Park that makes the place comfortable.

Gereja Blenduk is considered to be a landmark in Semarang. Old yet iconic and historical. It used to be a Dutch church and up until now it is still operating. Open for public to visit but also open for Sunday Mass. Located at the heart of Semarang Old Town. The building is still properly maintained. The style is very 'Dutch'. Come in the morning for a great view and less crowded for photo session.

This Protestant Church is actually still being operated every week for praying purpose but if you want to come and visit, you need to pay for charity for about 10,000 IDR/person. There wasn't many room of this place that we can visit due to security reasons, still seems like another church supposed to be, the difference is only about the architecture of the building.

GPIB Immanuel Semarang (Blenduk Church) is the oldest Christian Church in Central Java, which was built by the Dutch people who lived in the city in 1753, with an octagonal shape (square eight). This church has a large dome covered in bronze, and inside it has a Baroque organ. The architecture inside is based on the Greek cross. This church was renovated in 1894 by W. Westmaas and H.P.A. de Wilde, who added the two towers in front of this church building. The name Blenduk is a nickname from the local community which means dome. This church is still used every Sunday.

(Translated by Google) An icon of the Old Semarang City. Of all the ancient buildings that have survived, this white church building looks the most beautiful cum alluring to be immortalized in a photo frame. On the other hand, the history that accompanies it is no less interesting to learn. History records that the church was built in 1753, in the form of a Javanese stilt house complete with a roof with a Javanese style architecture. In 1787 the house on stilts was completely overhauled. Seven years later, in 1894, this building was rebuilt by H.P.A de Wilde and Westemas. The church has undergone 3 renovations in total, namely in 1753, 1894 and the last one in 2003. The architectural design is really in accordance with the concept of Neo Classical art, with a large organ that unfortunately cannot be used anymore. Blenduk itself in Javanese is round, the concept of the dome of this church is round. And this concept is part of the concept of the old European Churches. Blenduk Church has a regular octagonal or octagonal plan with the main room in the middle, just below the dome. In the building of the church, on the balcony, to be precise, the organ (organ) from the Dutch era is hundreds of years old. Even though it has been established thousands of years ago, Blenduk Church is still active in serving the worship of Protestants in Semarang and its surroundings. Now, along with the revitalization of Kota Lama, I hope the Blenduk Church will be preserved. (Original) Ikon daripada Kota Semarang Lama. Dari sekian bangunan kuno yg sintas, bangunan gereja berkelir putih ini terlihat paling rupawan cum memikat untuk diabadikan dalam bingkai foto. Lain itu, sejarah yg membersamainya pun tak kalah menarik untuk dikulik. Sejarah mencatat, Gereja di bangun pada warsa 1753, berbentuk rumah panggung Jawa lengkap dengan atap berarsitektur model Jawa. Tahun 1787 rumah panggung ini dirombak total. Tujuh tahun berselang, yakni pada 1894, gedung ini di bangun kembali oleh H.P.A de Wilde dan Westemas. Total gereja telah mengalami 3 kali renovasi, yaitu pada ahun 1753, 1894 dan terakhir tahun 2003. Desain Arsitekturnya benar-benar sesuai dengan konsep seni Neo Klasik, dengan orgel besar yang sayangnya sudah tidak bisa digunakan lagi. Blenduk sendiri dalam Bahasa Jawa adalah membulat, konsep kubah gereja ini yang membentuk bulat. Dan konsep ini merupakan bagian konsep Gereja-gereja tua Eropa. Gereja Blenduk memiliki denah octagonal atau segi delapan beraturan dengan ruang induk ditengah, tepat dibawah kubah. Dibagan atas gereja, tepatnya di balkon, sintas organ (orgel) peninggalan Jaman Belanda yang sudah berusia ratusan tahun. Kendati telah berdiri ribuan tahun silam, Gereja Blenduk masih aktif melayani peribadatan umat Protestan di Semarang dan sekitarnya. Kini seiring dg revitalisasi yg Kota Lama, semoga kelestarian Gereja Blenduk makin terjaga.

(Translated by Google) 📌 GEREJA BLENDUK is located in Kota Lama Semarang. This old church is one of the icons of the capital city of Central Java, which is well known to travelers. The brick-red dome is on top of the clean white building. Blenduk Church or GPIB Immanuel Church in Semarang was built in 1753 and is one of the oldest Christian churches in the country. Originally built by the Portuguese then added here and there by the Dutch so that the shape is what it is today. The architecture is neat with an old style but different from the other old church buildings. The building has a hexagon that looks beautiful, especially when viewed from above. On the inside, it is no less neat, the rows of ancient chairs, ceramics and pipe organs still look well preserved. Therefore, this church is a protected building as a cultural heritage. In front of the church, there is a cool Srigunting garden which is perfect for relaxing for a while while enjoying the culinary delights around this area. In addition, after leaving Blenduk Church, you can further explore other spots in the Kota Lama Semarang area. (Original) 📌 GEREJA BLENDUK terletak di Kota Lama Semarang. Gereja tua ini menjadi salah satu ikon Ibukota Jawa Tengah yang cukup dikenal para travelers. Kubahnya berwarna merah bata berada di atas bangunan yang serba putih bersih. Gereja Blenduk atau Gereja GPIB Immanuel Semarang dibangun pada 1753 dan termasuk salah satu gereja Kristen tertua di tanah air. Awalnya dibangun oleh Portugis kemudian ditambah di sana sini oleh Belanda sehingga bentuknya seperti sekarang. Arsitekturnya apik yang bergaya lama tapi berbeda dengan gaya bangunan gereja² tua yang lain. Bangunannya bersegi enam yang tampak indah, apalagi dilihat dari atas. Di bagian dalamnya tak kalah apiknya, barisan kursi kuno, keramik dan organ pipa masih tampak terpelihara baik. Oleh sebab itu gereja ini termasuk bangunan yang dilindungi sebagai cagar budaya. Di depan gereja terdapat taman Srigunting yang sejuk dan sangat cocok untuk bersantai sejenak sambil menikmati kulineran yang ada di sekitar kawasan ini. Selain itu, selepas dari Gereja Blenduk lebih lanjut bisa menjelajah ke spot lain di Kawasan Kota Lama Semarang.

Old city...nice to picture

(Translated by Google) History of Blenduk Church Semarang Blenduk Semarang Church is a church that was built in 1753 and is one of the landmarks in the Old City. Different from other buildings in the Old City which generally fence off the road and do not accentuate the shape, this Neo-Classical style building actually appears in contrast. The shape is more prominent. The location of this building is on Jalan Letjend Suprapto No 32 Kota Lama Semarang and is named the GPIB Immanuel Church. The church building which is now a sprawling building with a single facade is vertically divided into three parts. The number of floors is two. This building faces south. This church is still used for worship every Sunday. Around this church there are also a number of other buildings from the Dutch colonial period such as the Marba Building. This ancient building is also often one of the places for pre-wedding photos. The Protestant Church which is commonly called the Blenduk Church, this name is given tracing the shape of its dome which in Javanese is called Blenduk (bulging), until now the original name of this church is unknown. Initially the church was built in 1753, in the form of a Javanese stilt house, with a roof with a Javanese style architecture. In 1787 the house on stilts was completely overhauled. The next seven years there were changes. In 1894, this building was rebuilt by H.P.A. de Wilde and W. Westmas. This church was built in the 17th century and has undergone 3 renovations, namely in 1753, 1894 and finally in 2003. Each renovation is immortalized by the inscription on the marble that is installed under the alter church. The renovations did not change the characteristics of the building which adopted the elegant and aristocratic classical European architectural style. Blenduk Church has a regular octagonal or octagonal plan with a main hall in the center, just below the dome. At the top of the church, on the balcony you can still see the organ (organ) from the Dutch era which is hundreds of years old. Unfortunately, this organ can no longer function as an accompaniment when the church congregation sings. (Original) Sejarah Gereja Blenduk Semarang Gereja Blenduk Semarang merupakan Gereja yang dibangun pada 1753 ini merupakan salah satu landmark di Kota Lama. Berbeda dari bangunan lain di Kota Lama yang pada umumnya memagari jalan dan tidak menonjolkan bentuk, gedung yang bergaya Neo-Klasik ini justru tampil kontras. Bentuknya lebih menonjol . Lokasi bangunan ini berada di Jalan Letjend Suprapto No 32 Kota Lama Semarang dan bernama Gereja GPIB Immanuel. Bangunan gereja yang sekarang merupakan bangunan setangkup dengan facade tunggal yang secara vertikal terbagi atas tiga bagian. Jumlah lantainya adalah dua buah. Bangunan ini menghadap ke Selatan. Gereja ini masih dipergunakan untuk peribadatan setiap hari Minggu. Di sekitar gereja ini juga terdapat sejumlah bangunan lain dari masa kolonial Belanda seperti Gedung Marba. Bangunan kuno ini juga sering menjadi salah satu tempat untuk foto foto Pre Wedding. Gereja Protestan yang lazim disebut Gereja Blenduk nama ini diberikan merunut pada bentuk kubahnya yang dalam bahasa Jawa disebut Blenduk (menggembung), sampai sekarang nama asli gereja ini tidak diketahui. Mula-mula Gereja di bangun pada tahun 1753, berbentuk rumah panggung Jawa, dengan atap berarsitektur model Jawa. Pada tahun 1787 rumah panggung ini dirombak total. Tujuh tahun berikutnya diadakan kembali perubahan. Pada tahun 1894, gedung ini dibangun kembali oleh H.P.A. de Wilde dan W.Westmas. Gereja ini dibangun pada abad ke-17 dan telah mengalami 3 kali renovasi, yaitu pada tahun 1753, 1894 dan terakhir tahun 2003. Setiap renovasi diabadikan lewat tulisan di atas batu marmer yang terpasang di bawah alter gereja. Renovasi-renovasi tersebut sama sekali tidak merubah ciri khas bangunan yang mengadopsi gaya arsitektur Eropa klasik yang anggun dan aristokrat. Gereja Blenduk memiliki denah octagonal atau segi delapan beraturan dengan ruang induk di tengah, tepat di bawah kubah. Di bagian atas gereja, tepatnya di balkon masih terlihat organ (orgel) peninggalan jaman Belanda yang sudah berusia ratusan tahun. Sayang orgel ini sudah tidak bisa difungsikan lagi sebagai pengiring saat jemaah gereja bernyanyi.
