LAWANG SEWU

Lawang Sewu is a building in Semarang, Central Java, which is the office of the Nederlands-Indische Maatschappij or NIS Spoorweg. Built in 1904 and completed in 1907. Located at the roundabout Tugu Muda formerly called Wilhelminaplein.

Local people call it Lawang Sewu (Thousand Doors) is because the building has a door that very much. In fact, there is no door to a thousand. This building has many windows high and wide, so people often take it as a door (mace).
