Lawang Sewu

Lawang Sewu is a landmark in Semarang, Central 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
