Lawang Sewu


        Lawang Sewu is one of the famous historical buildings in Indonesia. It is named Lawang Sewu which means a thousand doors. Besides its thousand doors, it is also well known for the fascinating stained glass windows representing the Dutch Symbolism. The stained glass windows are similar with those of the places like The Hague and Rotterdam and also the Royal family. The building has numerous long winding corridors which open out to the offices on one side of the office and the other end of the building on the other hand. It is a famous landmark in the region of Semarang and a pride for Java.
