Lawang Sewu

Lawang Sewu is a landmark in SemarangCentral Java, Indonesia. The colonial era building is famous as a haunted house. The name Lawang Sewu is from Javanese; it means "Thousand Doors". The name comes from its design, with numerous doors and arcs.









Lawang Sewu was designed by C. Citroen, from the firm of J.F. Klinkhamer and B.J. Quendag. Construction began in 1904 with A building, which was completed in 1907. The rest of the complex was finished in 1919. The complex consists of several buildings, two main ones named A and B and two smaller ones named C and D, on Pemuda Street. There are two identical towers on A building, which were originally used to store water. The building features large stained-glass windows and a grand staircase in the center. The B building is located behind A building. It is three stories in height, with the first two floors consisting of offices and the third holding a ballroom. The building, with high, large windows, also has a basement floor that is kept partially flooded to serve to cool the building through evaporation. The Netherlands used this as a national railway station. After the Japanese invaded Indonesia, the army took over Lawang Sewu. The basement of B building was turned into a prison, with several executions taking place there. Lawang Sewu is said to be haunted, with many tourists visiting to see the ghosts. Lawang Sewu also appears on National Geographic channel on I Wouldn't Go In There

Singer : Maroon 5
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow I want more

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautifulI know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You come anytime you want, yeah.

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

I know where you hide alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are

I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Yeah

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Look for the girl with the broken smile
