lawang sewu. or known as the thousand doors. one of the most haunted and spooky buildings in java. situated at semarang, the capital city of central java province.

serviced as function hall in 18th century by the dutch, then changed into tortured camp during japan invasion. and a heroic scene amongst young indonesians against conquerors made this building has changed into indonesian railway headquarter and the latest was served for indonesian army.

alas, now this thousand doors remain somewhat forgotten. look the empty alleys and the interior. but as locals says, it's pretty haunted. and for ourselves, lawang sewu is something nice. the architecture, the stained glass windows and the underground tunnels [and said there was an underground prison] tell so many histories ....
