    Not spooky at all. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It's basically a historical trip back in time to the colonial era from a train enthusiast perspective. If you want to gain the most experience possible, please do hire a guide there. For only several tens of thousand rupiahs you'll get complete inside knowledge of the place. Careful for the restricted spaces though, they have cameras.

    If you haven't then you should visit this place. Good to see the history of trains in Indonesia and this historic building with literally so many doors hence the name lawang sewu (in Javanese) which translates to 1,000 doors.

    I visited on October 2nd. It was saturday, quite crowded but they can managed it. Due to covid 19, you have to prepare your vaccine sertificate. And it cost 10 thousand rupiah for entrance fee.

    An astonishing historical site. This building complex was established in 1907 as the head office of the Dutch railway company. It has hundreds of doors, almost a thousand, that's why people call it "lawang sewu", which means thousand doors. This place is well maintained, despite of its old age. You can find many interesting spots to take pictures there.

    Perfect place to stroll around and enjoy the vintage cultural and architectural heritage of Semarang. Famously known as to having less than 1000 doors, built during the Dutch colonialism era. Infamously known for its haunting and mystic vibes, due to its rich history and cultural background.

    A very beautiful old colonial building. It's worth a visit. I enjoy the atmosphere here. Quiet and serene even some tourists could be a little bit noisy. The ticket price is IDR 20K for local tourists and 30K for foreigners (November 2023).

    (Translated by Google) Historical tourist attractions of Indonesian railways. As well as a tour which is said to be "horror". If outside the room the air feels cool, but when you enter the room the air feels stuffy even though all the doors in the building are wide open. While here, there are several parts of the room that are being renovated so tourists / visitors cannot enter (Original) Tempat wisata sejarah perkreta apian indonesia. Sekaligus wisata yg konon katanya "horor". Jika diluar ruangan udara terasa sejuk, tapi ketika sudah masuk ke dalam ruangan gedung udara terasa pengap padahal semua pintu yg ada di gedung dibuka lebar2. Saat ke sini ada beberapa bagian ruangan yg sedang di pugar sehingga wisatawan / pengunjung tidak bisa masuk

    This is a must-see historical site at the heart of Semarang City, Central Java Province. I and my wife came here five years ago and spent almost two hours sightseeing and taking pictures inside the colonial buildings and outside on the colonial steam locomotive. Inexpensive. Clean place. I plan to come again in the evening to take beautiful night pictures.

    Come here at night.. Just like other old buildings, it has unique architecture.. Oh, the name itself implies about thousands of doors but I don’t know if it’s actually one thousand door in here.. Pssst, if you love train then come visit this place, you’ll see a building full of history about it..

    It's been rejuvenated to the point we can feel back in the old days. Prefer to go at night cause the lights bring much more ambience to it. However nothing much once you're there.

    Harga tiket masuk relatif murah untuk dewasa (sebesar 10rb, anak² 5rb, pelajar sma 5rb). Waktu saya berkunjung, cuaca sangat panas tapi ketika masuk ke dalam sangat adem dan anginnya sepoi² bikin ngantuk. Wisata ini sangat instagramable dengan kesan retro klasik.

    who doesn't know Denham, the most iconic historical building in the city of Semarang. yak, the name Lawang Sewu. Lawang Sewu is a historical building from the Dutch colonial heritage that used to function as the center of offices at that time in short. This building has stood firmly in history since hundreds of years ago but its integrity is still maintained, which made it famous from Lawang / Pintu Sewu / Seribu to being a thousand doors. Anyway, the historical place is warm and educational for tourists because there is also a museum inside with various kinds of remains. and there is also a mango tree that is hundreds of years old in its yard that still stands today. Don't forget to visit Lawang Sewu / Seribu Pintu in Semarang City.

    Lawang Sewu now is called as Museum Kereta Api (train museum). Usually, it has live keroncong music inside. Great destination if you like historical place since here have a lot of story inside this building. Also, it has a mystery story about the ghost which is life in this museum.

  • 5/5 Jovellina Verbi Dei M. 3 years ago on Google
    Lawang Sewu, literally Thousand Doors, is a landmark in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia, 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. That's what Google said. Hehe. Well it is so historical building with uncountable doors. I love the design although not all spaces are opened for public with limited lighting too in some area. Entrance fee is cheap even for foreigner. Everything is unique including toilet itself, although mostly rooms are empty.

    A place to visit when you are in Semarang. Located in the center of Semarang city. It holds a lot of Indonesia train historical pictures. The building itself is separated into 2 big buildings. Both of them have "thousands of doors" that connect each room. Apart from that, it has musical performance during the day as well.

    Underutilised premise. Empty rooms etc. There's a small exhibition on railways (some taken from railway museum in Ambarawa). Other than that the place is really empty. They could fill in with more (art) stuff. The yard is a nice place though with a band playing local music. It's definitely a place to visit in Semarang but wish they could do more with the content.

  • 5/5 Faisal S. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the tourist sites that you have to visit when you are in the semarang city, central Java Capital, especially to those of you who enjoy historical landmarks. Lawang Sewu often switched functions since it woke up in the Dutch colonial era as the colonial office of the Japanese later on as a prison house and early in the freedom of Indonesia became a railway station. The place is clean and you can visit from morning to night so it's quite appropriate if you want to feel night at the museum atmosphere. Affordable ticket prices for children and adults. If you use a car or motocycle you should be parked on the street and office complex beside Lawang sewu.

    The building is old and very interesting. Hopefully PT KAI can manage to utilize all the rooms and buildings into something more profitable for the company and at the same time more entertaining for the visitors. I have problem finding the parking area and end-up parking on the street next to a small river, organised by some sort of informal street parking men. I must pay IDR 10,000 for one time parking.

    Lawang Sewu means a thousand doors. It was a train office before and become a museum. Nothing much to see but its a nice place to visit. Ticket price is around 15K IDR. Parking area for car is not available so u have to find parking nearby to the museum. The underground basement is still under renovation.

    It's a popular historical building. Beautiful Dutch Colonial building with rich of history. Unfortunately there was no parking lot, so it's better to use a public transport or chartered car/bus. 2nd floor can not be accessed IDK why.

    One of Historical Landmarks in Semarang. Lawang Sewu is one of the most wonderful colonial buildings from the Dutch East Indies, perhaps the greatest from the first decade of the twentieth century. It is a splendidly extravagant with its domes, stained glass ornamentation, hundreds of wooden doors and shutters and long, breezy verandas. Originally the headquarters of a private railway concession, it later fell into disuse and dilapidation. However, it has novw been restored and opened as a museum.

    Lawang Sewu is a historic building in Indonesia located in Semarang City, Central Java. This building, which used to be the office of the Nederlands-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij or NIS. It was built in 1904 and completed in 1907. It is located at the Tugu Muda circle which was formerly called Wilhelminaplein. Local people call it Lawang Sewu because the building has so many doors, despite the fact that the number of doors does not reach one thousand. This building has many windows that are tall and wide, so people often think of it as a gate. This old building is the location of a great battle between the AMKA youth or the Train Youth Force against Kempetai and Kidobutai, Japan. Therefore the Semarang City Government includes Lawang Sewu as one of 102 ancient or historic buildings in the city of Semarang that are worth protecting. Currently the old building has undergone a stage of conservation and revitalization carried out by the Unit Preservation of objects and historic buildings of PT Kereta Api Company. During the Japanese occupation in 1942, the basement of the Lawang Sewu building was formerly a drainage channel but was converted into an underground prison as well as a drainage channel. This building is also a silent witness to the fierce battle between the people of Indonesia and the Japanese army, known as the Battle of Five Days in Semarang. This underground jailis is a witness to the torture and massacre of Indonesian people, which was carried out by the Japanese army at the time of forced labor or romusha. The atmosphere in this place makes the hair stand on end, especially when entering a corner of a narrow room shaped like small pools that were used as prisoners.

    KAI museum bisa belajar sejarah kereta api Indonesia jaman dulu. Untuk tempat parkir minim. saya kesini dengan mobil dan parkir diarahkan disamping lawang sewu berupa gang kecil saya parkir disamping gang situ. untuk parkir belum ada yg memadahi. kesini dengan motor lebih praktis sepertinya karna parkirnya lebih luas jalan dari parkir dan pintu masuk juga lebih dekat. Tiket masuk dewasa Rp 10.000,- per orang. Enjoy lawang sewu :)

The tour guide is friendly and the story is detailed. Not horror or creepy like us. Important: no parking is available, so park in the shop complex around or the Mandala Bakti museum opposite. (Original) Nilai historik nya menarik. Disarankan utk sewa tour guide, tarif berubah2, jd jgn malu2 utk bertanya dl brp tarif nya. Tour guide nya ramah2 dan detail ceritanya.

    (Translated by Google) The first time you can stop by, in a pandemic situation, the second floor of the main building cannot go up. But GPP, still satisfied even for 1 hour, can go around even to the 3rd floor of the back building, the most scary is the underground area. The security guard is cool, firm but polite. I remember twice that the visiting hour ends at 18 Blessings of the palace😇 (Original) Pertama kali bisa mampir,dalam situasi pandemi,lantai dua bangunan utama nggak boleh naik.tapi GPP,tetep puas walau 1 jam,bisa keliling bahkan baik ke lantai 3 bangunan belakang,paling serem area bawah tanah nya.

    (Translated by Google) If you are in the city of Semarang, do not forget to stop by Lawang Sewu, especially when you are traveling at night. Lawang Sewu or interpreted in Indonesian is a thousand doors, this is a historic building from the Dutch colonial era, it used to be the office of a Dutch railroad company that was founded in 1904, although it was called Lawang Sewu but in reality the number of doors was not 1000 but according to information there were 428 doors. These doors and windows are typical, large and tall with patterned floors. When visiting this place there are some parts where visitors are prohibited from entering, namely starting on the 2nd floor. This building has 3 floors and there is also a basement but is closed, this underground place in a TV show has been used for "guts test". This building is very broad, maybe as wide as the satay building in Bandung. Once again for those visiting Semarang for those from out of town, stop by to add more knowledge about history. Recommended .... !!! (Original) Kalau sedang berada di kota Semarang jangan lupa untuk mampir ke Lawang Sewu terutama bila sedang jalan-jalan pada malam hari. Lawang Sewu atau diartikan dalam bahasa Indonesia adalah seribu pintu ini adalah bangunan bersejarah peninggalan masa kolonial Belanda, dulunya adalah kantor perusahaan kereta api Belanda yang didirikan pada tahun 1904, walau disebutnya Lawang Sewu tetapi kenyataannya jumlah pintunya tidak 1000 tapi menurut keterangan ada 428 pintu. Pintu dan jendela ini khas, besar dan tinggj dengan lantai bercorak. Sewaktu mengunjungi ke tempat ini ada beberapa bagian dimana pengunjung dilarang masuk, yaitu dimulai lantai 2. Gedung ini berlantai 3 dan juga ada ruangan bawah tanah tapi ditutup, tempat bawah tanah ini dalam acara disebuah tv pernah dipakai untuk acara "uji nyali". Gedung ini sangat luas mungkin luasnya seluas gedung sate yang ada di kota Bandung. Sekali lagi bagi yang berkunjung ke Semarang untuk yang dari luar kota, mampirlah agar lebih menambah pengetahuan mengenai sejarah. Recommended....!!!

    (Translated by Google) Now it is full as a museum with its own route. You can use guide services too. It is highly recommended to use a guide to find out the story of Lawang Sewu when it was functioning as the railroad office and the dormitory first. Lots of lessons about the history of railways in Indonesia are obtained here. The European-Javanese style building is also very beautiful and well maintained. In this place, I highly recommend to maintain politeness during the tour to avoid unwanted things. (Original) Sekarang sudah full jadi museum dengan rute jalan tersendiri. Bisa pakai jasa guide juga. Sangat direkomen pakai guide untuk mengetahui cerita Lawang Sewu saat berfungsi sebagai kantor perkeretaapian dan asramanya dulu. Banyak sekali pelajaran mengenai sejarah kereta api di Indonesia yang didapat disini. Bangunannya yang bergaya Eropa-Jawa pun sangat indah dan terawat. Di tempat ini, sangat saya sarankan untuk menjaga kesopanan selama tur untuk menghindari hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan.

The beauty of the architecture is something I appreciate from the building. Not only that, there are also stories which tells us about the past of the building. Most doors are also still original (only repainted). *must park your vehicle somewhere else outside of the Lawang Sewu perimeter

    The building is preserved nicely, but i think the amount of information provided couldn't satisfy my curiosity. I think they need to decorate the place with more "info board"* for the building, and all the other components that has it's own antique values. * i don't feel like it's the correct word. But, i think is sufficient enough for you to understand what i meant.

    A beautiful historic spot in the middle of Semarang, Lawang Sewu is a Dutch-era train company office which was then used as a prison during the Japanese invasion of Indonesia. The remarkable technology of that era is still apparent today, as the Dutch installed a central cooling system using water in the basements to ensure the building was cool throughout, helping them get through the hot and humid Indonesian climate. Its use as a prison meant that the location has its share of horror stories, and its best to visit Lawang Sewu accompanied by one of the local guides readily available by the ticketing counter. Tickets for locals are IDR10k each, and is more than covered by the many beautiful and instagrammable spots throughout. There is also a night tour available for those with braver hearts.

In this pandemic situation they have been practicing health protocol, like checking body temperature in the check in area, wearing mask at all times and so on.

In this place, we are presented with various kinds of history, starting from the founders, the evolutionary journey of Indonesian railways, construction, machinist clothes, old tickets, the tools used and others. This place is very unique for those of us who like old style photos. Because the building is still very good and well maintained. For visitors there are some places that cannot be visited (perhaps for security reasons) The visiting hours here are only until 21.00 WIB. And if you want to go to other places (for example Chinatown) it is also not far from this place Recommendations for friends who want to visit this historic site (Original) Saya dari Medan ke Semarang di tahun kemarin karena adanya alasan pekerjaan sebelum pandemik. Menurut saya tempat ini sangat menakjubkan. Kebetulan saya mengunjungi tempat ini malam hari dikarenakan pulang dri pekerjaan baru bisa datang. Ditempat ini kita disajikan berbagai macam sejarah, mulai dari pendiri, perjalanan evolusi perkereta apian Indonesia, pembangunan, baju masinis, tiket jaman dulu, alat2 yang dipakai dan lainnya. Tempat ini sangat unik untuk kita yang suka foto2 gaya lawas. Karena gedung nya juga masih sangat bagus dan terawat. Untuk pengunjung ada beberapa tempat yang tidak bisa dikunjungi (mungkin untuk alasan keamanan) Jam kunjungan dsni hanya sampai pukul 21.00 WIB. Dan kalau mau ke tmpt lainnya (misalnya pecinan) juga tidak jauh dari tempat ini Rekomendasi untuk teman teman sekalian yang ingin berkunjung ke tmtp bersejarah ini

    Lawang Sewu Museum is very good for families, the environment is clean, this museum has many doors and windows, so it has its own impression.

    Beautiful old Dutch building in the middle of Semarang. This building is owned by KAI so you can see several diorama about the history of trains in Indonesia.

    1 year has been passed and now they have CFC and plaza inside. Kinda ease the 'horror' situation but personally I don't really like it. Underground is prohibited to enter, the attic also closed.

    You can bring beverage from outside the area. The place is so clean. Much recommended for either historical traveling or even cosplay photography.

    Looks beautiful from the outside. Nothing much to see inside. Mostly are empty rooms. There was performance when we came to visit. Not spooky at all. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It's basically a historical trip back in time to the colonial era from a train enthusiast perspective. If you want to gain the most experience possible, please do hire a guide there.

    The Catholic Dutch architecture buildings with hundreds of doors (which were rounded to thousand = Sewu/Seribu) are obviously the main attraction to this place and it's quite well-preserved by the local govt. They had quite lots of infographics to read from to know more about Lawang Sewu and had many photographs and paintings from old times to view. You could unironically get a bit lost while exploring, or at least that's what happened to me. There are too many doors to step into and go out from. Not every story/floor is open for visitors, though. If you're looking for a classic recreational site to visit with family, friends or loved one, this is such a good place. There are a lot of food stalls, coffee place, clothing store and even live music and CFC restaurant to spend time in. Restrooms were under a fixing process when I visited so it wasn't quite nice. They have a Musholla for muslims to pray as well in case they need it.

    Beatifully preserved and managed, and historically interresting especially for young generation visitors. It is best to come at night👍👍👍 Please do get a guide to show you around and explain the rich history of Lawang Sewu. Our guide was Mr. Riski Andrie and we had a wonderful tour session. Great job Lawang Sewu (PT KAI) management👍
