House of Raden Saleh

As a colonial (antique) building aficionado and live in Jakarta, you must have known about this particular house with a Neo-Gothic architecture located in Cikini area and wasn’t built by the Dutch. Although this building is not open for public, people knows who the owner was. He was a famous painter back in his era, his amazing creations become a collection in Presidential palace by our first president, Soekarno. Yes, he is Raden Saleh Syarif Bustaman (1811-1880). Raden Saleh is an aristocratic Javanese with an Arabic blood, and was born in Semarang.

Raden Saleh’s house, nowadays known as Cikini Hospital (RS. PGI Cikini), is not open for public. Currently, it is been used for hospital directors office. I am very fortunate, and happened to know one of the staff who works there and gave me access to go in. As I sway around, enjoying the moment, feeding my hunger of curiosity, and of course eternalize the image every corner of his beautiful house through my camera lens. I could feel that Raden Saleh was a man that have big appreciation toward art through his house (or ornament detail) that he designed by himself or his (few) art collection that are still displayed in his house.

Below are the pictures of his house from the collection of Tropen Museum.

...and below are the pictures of his exterior house that I took.
The interior..
It seems that Raden Saleh took his inspiration for his (Cikini) house from Schloss Callenberg near Coburg (Bavaria) and Reinhardsbrunn near Gotha (Thuringia).
There is a chapel that was built in 1906 behind his house by the Dutch. At that time the residence has become part of Koningin Emma Ziekenhuis (since 1898), which later on became Cikini Hospital.
Raden Saleh’s house in Cikini once stood in an extensive garden. In 1864 he donated 10 hectares of his land to the ‘Society for Plants and Animals’. It was developed into an amusement park and zoo, which in 1966 was transferred to Ragunan, and the area of the old zoo was changed into Taman Ismail Marzuki.
The SMP Negeri I Jakarta and Cikini Swimming pool were also once belonged to Saleh’s premises too.
Another building that was also his property, is a mosque on the Ciliwung river bank in jalan Raden Saleh (present). Al - Makmur mosque was built in 1923/1924.
