Gedung Sate

Gedung Sate is a neo-classical building mixed with native elements. Once the seat of the Dutch East Indies department of Transport, Public Works and Water Management, it now serves as the governor's office of the West Java province in Indonesia. Located in Bandung, it was built in 1920 after a design by Dutch architect J. Gerber.

Its common name, Gedung sate, is a nickname that translates literally from Indonesian to 'satay building', which is a reference to the shape of the building's central pinnacle - which resemble the shape of one of the Indonesian traditional dish called satay. 'Sate stick' adorning is the roof, the Gedung Sate is the beloved monument of Bandung and symbol of West Java for the entire province.

beautiful sculpted gardens embrace the architectural monument and on weekends many visitors tour de grounds.

From its entrance one can gaze upon a busy city with the iconic Tangkuban Perahu valcona in the background.
