Gedung Sate

Gedung Sate is a historic public building located in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, completed in 1924. Designed by Dutch architect J. Gerber, it features a unique blend of neoclassical architecture with native Indonesian elements, including Hindu-Buddhist motifs. The building serves as the seat of the governor of West Java and also functions as a museum. Its nickname, 'satay building', derives from the distinctive shape of its central pinnacle, which resembles the traditional Indonesian dish satay, symbolizing the six million guilders that funded its construction.
