"Maimun Palace was built in 1888 by Sultan Ma’mun Al Rasyid Perkasa Alamsyah, the ninth Sultan of the Deli Sultanate. It served as the administrative center and royal residence for the Deli Kingdom. The palace’s design reflects a harmony of various influences—Malay, Arabic, Indian, and European—symbolizing the cultural diversity of this region.”
“The palace spans 2,772 square meters with 30 rooms inside. Its architecture is a unique fusion of Malay and European styles. Notice the roof, which resembles a saddle—this is inspired by Dutch architectural design. The interior features luxurious ornaments, including European-style chandeliers and traditional Malay-carved furniture.”
“The throne room is adorned in gold and yellow, the signature colors of Malay royalty. This room houses many historical artifacts, such as photographs of the royal family, traditional musical instruments, and replicas of weapons from the Deli Kingdom.”
“Visitors can also enjoy cultural activities, such as renting traditional Malay costumes for a photo session inside the palace. Outside, you’ll find the legendary Meriam Puntung cannon, linked to the mystical story of Princess Putri Hijau.”
“Maimun Palace is located on Brigadier General Katamso Street in Medan. The entrance fee ranges from IDR 5,000 to 10,000, making it an affordable and accessible tourist destination. Its strategic location makes it easy to reach from anywhere in Medan.”
