The factory is close to my father's hometown. Every time when I was little I was often invited to play in the sugar factory area while enjoying the Buka Giling event which was usually busy and lively.

Pagotan is an area in Madiun Regency which once held various interesting histories and stories in its history. One of the historical stories is in the sugar factory. The sugar factory is called PG Pagotan. According to the historical story, PG Pagotan was founded in 1884 by NV COOY COOSTERN VAN VOORH and had the characteristics of a simple building at that time. In 1905, the PG Pagotan building made improvements to its construction and perfected the installation. If you look at its history, PG Pagotan has gone through a very long period, starting from the Dutch colonial period, Japanese colonialism, and then currently being taken over by BUMN. During the Japanese colonial period, this sugar factory was used as a cement factory whose raw materials were in the Slahung area, Ponorogo. If you look closely at the building behind the sugar factory, there is an old building that used to be Pagotan Station. Pagotan station was built so that the transportation of sugar cane and sugar would run smoothly. However, unfortunately, in 1984 this station was no longer active because it was unable to compete with other vehicles such as public transportation and private vehicles.

Always interesting to visit, the changes make a great impression to see.

We are from Sragen, taking a photo with the locomotive. From the outside it looks fun, it's definitely interesting on the inside

The potential for historical tourism is also to support the economy, especially domestic sugar production, so that in the future it will be more advanced, modern, transparent and more open...

Thank you very much Kang Agung Sri Rejeki
