Semarang’s Gereja Blenduk Church is the oldest Church in Central Java and has become an icon of Semarang.
This Protestant Church in Semarang was built by the Dutch community way back in 1753. Since then, every Sunday, the Gereja Blenduk Church comes alive to the sound of hymns and prayers
In 1894 Semarang’s Gereja Blenduk Church underwent extensive renovation, under the guidance of W. Westmaas and H.P.A de Wilde.
It is the architecture of the Gereja Blenduk Church that is its very interesting feature and it’s on this account that it’s visited by every tourist in Semarang. Blenduk means “dome” and the large copper dome of this beautiful church is one of its very notable features.
