More than three centuries Indonesia was colonized by the Dutch, ranging from VOC in the early 1600s until the Dutch colonial government in the 1700s to the 1940s. Surely it is not a short time for occupiers who stop and dredge treasure Indonesian homeland. During a period of three centuries, the Dutch have a lot of tortured people of Indonesia and they also have to make this country as their second homeland because almost half of the Netherlands while that ever lived and long lived in colonial Indonesia.

For the sake of making Indonesia a second residence after their homeland in the Netherlands, many colonial government settlement building as a residence for the Dutch citizen who was many circulating in Indonesia, in addition to luxury homes built for the convenience of the occupiers and their families, the colonial government was built many office buildings are magnificent for their sustainability succeed in the colonies. Comparatively very much once colonial buildings remaining in Indonesia, as well as a monument for the people to remember that our first ever colonized more than three centuries by the Dutch colonists, buildings and even then today many converted as local government offices or as a museum, where all was done so that the rest of the colonial building maintenance can be better controlled, in fact it's pretty powerful way many ancient buildings are still dashing colonial remnant stands today even though he was already more than 100 years once.

Colonial buildings Existing In Palembang.

Most of the ancient buildings of the colonial remnant numerous in Java since then Java is the administrative center of the Netherlands. However, many of the ancient building of the Dutch colonial located in other areas such as Sumatra, Sulawesi and Bali although its presence is not as much as in Java.

Until the late 1960s in Palembang there are still many remaining buildings that stood proudly Dutch colonial sidelines Musi river but the current development Ampera Bridge (1962) most of the colonial buildings demolished for land acquisition for the construction of the bridge.

After completion of the bridge shall be built (1965) on the land that was once there are many ancient buildings remaining colonial, colonial buildings and then more rest without a definite cause leveling destroyed to construct new buildings which they consider one of the better and more modern example is a large post office that used to be the city of Palembang former post office building owned by the Dutch, the end of the 1970s destroyed and replaced with new buildings as it is still standing and we could see.

Wrong policies of the current government in dealing with old buildings made not many ancient buildings remaining Dutch rest in Palembang, while the remaining buildings are currently not many and only partially preserved as Warrior Hall, Headquarters DLAJ, Housing Netherlands in Gutter ants, some Dutch church, Plumbing Office (Office of the Mayor of Palembang) and Building Museum Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II.

Of all the ancient buildings and the Netherlands are maintained intact in Palembang there are some that are currently becoming a landmark of the Office Plumbing (Palembang Mayor's Office) and the Building Museum Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II. The building is now a silent witness that first Palembang also was colonized by the Dutch. As the current generation of youth is certainly remaining ancient buildings is a very valuable asset for us because at this time of such ancient building very step and difficult to find in the midst of a concrete jungle of modern buildings in the crowded metropolis.

As a nation that respects the history we have helped preserve the rest of the Dutch colonial buildings because from there we can learn about the history of the struggle of our heroes when expelled the Dutch colonialists from Mother Earth, not the hatred which we demonstrate to the ancient building because it is considered to be the remains of colonization in this country, is not one of the ancient buildings precisely such buildings should we care for ancient buildings is an asset to this country either as an asset of science as a place to learn about the traces of colonization in our beloved homeland as well as an asset for tourists who want to see it directly building the rest of the colonists who still gallant stand to this day.

Plumbing office (Water Tower) and the Building Museum Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II

Tells the story of colonization in Palembang trail through the rest of the building is not complete if we do not discuss the Office of the Plumbing and Building Museum Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II because in addition to building a unique and beautiful architecture as well because this is the only building actually looks a little unkempt among other colonial buildings remaining.

Office Plumbing (Water Tower).

Plumbing office (Water Tower) is itself a Dutch-made buildings designed by an architect who came from Surabaya named Ir. S. Snuijf in 1929, officially Plumbing office building was first used in the 1930s. Plumbing office building itself has several levels where the first level since the days of the Netherlands has been used as an administrative center Gemeente Palembang and the top level is used as a shelter or clean water piped to all citizens who live in Palembang when it was mainly Dutch citizens who live in the vicinity of Jalan Tasik current and Dempo whose location is not far from the tower Plumbing Office.

Specifically Tower Water (Plumbing Office) has a height of 35 m with a water capacity that can be accommodated up to 1,200 cubic meters and a spacious tower located on Jalan Merdeka is 250 square meters.

Water tower Plumbing Office was created as an attempt by Gemeente Palembang then to provide clean water. At that time the Musi River is used as the sole water supply for the people of Palembang considered unfavorable because when the Musi River water is used as a one stop washing from washing rice (food), washing clothes, to wash the body. Thus making the colonial government felt the need to provide clean water for its citizens. The costs incurred by the Dutch colonial government at that time to establish the Office of Plumbing (Water Tower) is worth 1 ton of gold, the price itself is 1/3 of the value set by the Ir ever. Th. Karsten maker Palembang city master plan that is equal to 3 tons of gold.

Water Tower (Office Plumbing) itself has a number of times where the switching function in the first stand is used as a shelter and clean water Gemeente Dutch government center, then the current era of Japan (1942-1945) used as Syuco-right or Resident Office Palembang era Japan, then made in the town hall until 1956, this building has also been a silent witness to the action of youth Heroism Palembang when Independence was proclaimed in which youth when it raises a red and white flag in the four corners of the Plumbing Office on August 17, 1945, until finally since August 21 Office 1963 Plumbing (Water Tower) is used as the Office of the Municipal Government Center Palembang (Palembang Mayor's Office) or office is the number one place in Palembang until today.

Building Museum Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II.

Many people believe that the Building Museum Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II is currently the home of Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II relics, the assumption was wrong because Building Museum Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II is a former House building commissioner Netherlands (Regeering commisaris).

The fact that right is Building Museum Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II built on land that was once the home or residence palace of Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II. Before the defeat of the Sultanate of Palembang Darussalam in 1821 on top of buildings that is now called the Museum Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II stood a palace complex named Palembang Darussalam Sultanate palace Kuto Lamo, in the adjoining palace directly with Beteng Kuto Besak (palace Kuto Besak) here Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II live.

However, in 1821 when the Sultanate of Palembang Darussalam conquered by the Dutch (in Palembang Into War II marked the arrest of Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II were then exiled to Ternate) palace Kuto Lamo scorched earth, then on top of the ruins of the palace built Kuto Lamo Home Commissioner Netherlands (Regeering commisaris). Building materials such as floor is taken from the floor of the former palace Kuto Lamo. The Commissioner of the Dutch who first occupied this building in 1825 was JL van Sevenhoven.

Then, after the Netherlands lost and former House build Indonesia Dutch Commissioner independent switch functions to Building Museum SultanMahmud Badaruddin II (upper buildings) and the Office of Tourism Palembang (lower part of the building).
