Protestant Church in Western Indonesia Immanuel Semarang

5 Imam Santosa - 2 years ago

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.

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.

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.

The church stands majestically under the sun... you can't miss it. Make sure you get an Instagrammable worthy shot in front of the church.

After that, be sure to take a stroll across the streets admiring the ancient city. The roads, lamps, buildings - are colonial Dutch era that makes you think you are in an European town!

GPIB Semarang is a dutch heritage Church which now functions as tourist destination.

Located in Kota Lama Semarang area, it is very well managed and preserved. I dont think visitors can easily walk in, so only see it from outside.

The place has many good spots for taking pictures, and it looks good both at daylight and night.
