Located in the heart of the city, Blitar Regent Office House<\/strong> is not just a place to live, but a historical building rich in stories of glory and struggle.<\/p>\n

Built during the Dutch colonial era, this building is a silent witness to the change of regents and the political dynamics that coloured Bung Karno's Earth.<\/p>\n

The house was built during the leadership of Blitar's second regent, after the previous centre of government was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Kelud.<\/p>\n

The construction of the Blitar Regent Office House was carried out in conjunction with the construction of several other important buildings, namely the Jami' Mosque, the prison, and Blitar square.<\/p>\n

The construction of these elements was part of the government's efforts to fulfil the infrastructure needs of the government, creating a system of urban planning referred to as mancapat-mancalima.<\/p>\n

The Blitar Regent Office House consists of several parts arranged in sequence.<\/p>\n

At the front is the kuncungan, then the pendapa, followed by the longkangan, and the very back which is the main room called the main house.<\/p>\n

In addition, this official residence is equipped with three other separate building units, namely the Bunder Building to the west, unit two building to the east, and unit three building on the back side which has been renovated into a gazebo.<\/p>\n

There is also a building called paseban located in the square area.<\/p>\n

The construction of this official residence was led by Regent K.R.T. Warsokoesoemo, who served from 1869 to 1896, at a time when the administration of Blitar Regency was still under Dutch colonial control.<\/p>\n

Blitar itself was included in the foreign territory of the Surakarta Palace which was granted to the Dutch government as compensation for war costs.<\/p>\n

The architecture of this official house adopts the Indist style that flourished in the Dutch East Indies in the late 19th century by combining elements of Javanese and colonial styles.<\/p>\n

The Javanese style in this official house can be seen from the spatial arrangement, the direction of the house, the zoning of the space, as well as various structural elements such as the supporting columns and the tumpangsari ceiling in the pendapa.<\/p>\n

The Indis style can be seen in the main structure of the building, which consists of thick walls with details at the front, dominated by white wall paint, and openings in the form of large windows and doors.<\/p>\n

The high ceilings and large pillars that support the front of the roof also reinforce the Indis character of this building.<\/p>\n

The main house has a symmetrical plan, consisting of a front veranda, VIP living room, hallway, VIP dining room, and back veranda.<\/p>\n

To the left and right of the hallway are bedrooms and several other supporting spaces.<\/p>\n

The Javanese style is more dominant in the front room, while the Indis colonial style is more prominent at the back of the main house.<\/p>\n

The Javanese-style front of the house, with the pendapa room as the centrepiece, reflects the government's efforts at the time to show that Blitar was still part of Javanese society, particularly the Kingdom of Surakarta Hadiningrat.<\/p>\n

The main house, which is the core part of the Javanese house structure, underwent changes, replacing its sacredness with a colonial style as a symbol that the Blitar government was under colonial control at that time.<\/p>\n

With a combination of Javanese and Indist architecture, the Blitar Regent's Office House not only serves as the regent's official residence, but also as a symbol of history and cultural heritage that reflects the long journey of Blitar Regency under various government regimes.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Blitar Regent's Office House, the building Rumah Lodji De Karanganjar Koffieplantage<\/strong> is also one of the symbols of history that is still preserved and well maintained until now.<\/p>\n

This building dates back to the early days of the Karanganjar plantation.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, inside Lodji House is Bung Karno's room, which was used during his visit to nationalise assets from the colonial government.<\/p>\n

If you're a lover of architecture and art, both buildings are great destinations for you.<\/p>\n

Berlokasi di jantung kota, Rumah Dinas Bupati Blitar bukan hanya sekedar tempat tinggal, melainkan sebuah bangunan bersejarah yang kaya akan kisah kejayaan dan perjuangan. Dibangun pada masa penjajahan Belanda, bangunan ini menjadi saksi bisu pergantian bupati dan dinamika politik yang mewarnai Bumi Bung Karno. Rumah ini didirikan pada masa kepemimpinan Bupati kedua Blitar, setelah pusat pemerintahan sebelumnya hancur akibat letusan Gunung Kelud. Pembangunan Rumah Dinas Bupati Blitar ini dilakukan bersamaan dengan pembangunan beberapa bangunan penting lainnya, yaitu Masjid Jami\u2019, penjara, dan alun-alun Blitar. Pembangunan berbagai elemen ini merupakan bagian dari usaha pemerintah saat itu untuk memenuhi kebutuhan infrastruktur pemerintahan, sehingga tercipta sistem tata wilayah kota yang disebut sebagai mancapat-mancalima. Rumah Dinas Bupati Blitar terdiri dari beberapa bagian yang tersusun secara berurutan. Di bagian depan terdapat kuncungan, kemudian pendapa, dilanjutkan dengan longkangan, dan bagian paling belakang yang merupakan ruang utama yang disebut sebagai rumah induk. Selain itu, rumah dinas ini dilengkapi dengan tiga unit bangunan lainnya yang terpisah, yaitu Gedung Bunder di sebelah barat, bangunan unit dua di sebelah timur, serta bangunan unit tiga di sisi belakang yang telah direnovasi menjadi gazebo. Ada pula bangunan yang disebut sebagai paseban yang terletak di area alun-alun. Pembangunan rumah dinas ini dipimpin oleh Bupati K.R.T. Warsokoesoemo, yang menjabat dari tahun 1869 hingga 1896, pada masa pemerintahan Kabupaten Blitar masih berada di bawah pengawasan kolonial Belanda. Blitar sendiri termasuk dalam wilayah mancanegara Keraton Surakarta yang dihibahkan kepada pemerintahan Belanda sebagai ganti rugi biaya perang. Arsitektur rumah dinas ini mengadopsi gaya Indis yang berkembang pesat di Hindia Belanda pada akhir abad ke-19 dengan memadukan elemen-elemen gaya Jawa dan kolonial. Gaya Jawa pada rumah dinas ini dapat dilihat dari susunan ruang, arah hadap rumah, zonasi ruang, serta berbagai elemen struktural seperti tiang-tiang penyangga dan langit-langit tumpangsari di pendapa. Gaya Indis tampak pada struktur utama bangunan yang terdiri dari dinding tebal dengan detail di bagian depan, dominasi cat tembok warna putih, serta bukaan ruang berupa jendela dan pintu besar. Langit-langit tinggi dan pilar-pilar besar yang menopang bagian depan atap rumah juga memperkuat karakter Indis pada bangunan ini. Rumah induk memiliki denah yang simetris, terdiri dari beranda depan, ruang tamu VIP, lorong, ruang makan VIP, serta beranda belakang. Di samping kiri dan kanan lorong terdapat kamar-kamar tidur serta beberapa ruang pendukung lainnya. Gaya Jawa lebih dominan di bagian ruang depan, sedangkan gaya kolonial Indis lebih menonjol di bagian belakang rumah induk. Bagian depan rumah yang bergaya Jawa, dengan ruang pendapa sebagai pusat perhatian, mencerminkan usaha pemerintah saat itu untuk menunjukkan bahwa Blitar masih merupakan bagian dari masyarakat Jawa, khususnya Kerajaan Surakarta Hadiningrat. Adapun rumah induk yang merupakan bagian inti dalam susunan rumah Jawa mengalami perubahan, menggantikan kesakralannya dengan gaya kolonial sebagai simbol bahwa pemerintahan Blitar berada dalam kendali kolonial pada masa tersebut. Dengan kombinasi arsitektur Jawa dan Indis, Rumah Dinas Bupati Blitar tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai tempat tinggal resmi bupati, tetapi juga sebagai simbol sejarah dan warisan budaya yang mencerminkan perjalanan panjang Kabupaten Blitar di bawah berbagai rezim pemerintahan. Selain Rumah Dinas Bupati Blitar, bangunan Rumah Lodji De Karanganjar Koffieplantage juga menjadi salah satu simbol sejarah yang masih dilestarikan dan terawat dengan baik hingga kini. Bangunan ini sudah berdiri sejak masa awal perkebunan Karanganjar didirikan. Menariknya, di dalam Rumah Lodji terdapat kamar Bung Karno yang digunakan pada saat kunjungannya dalam rangka nasionalisasi aset dari pemerintah Kolonial. Jika Anda pecinta arsitektur dan seni, kedua bangunan tersebut menjadi destinasi yang cocok bagi Anda.        <\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":5188,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[199],"tags":[322,268,709,429,708,323,547,710,681,263],"class_list":["post-5187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wisata","tag-bersejarah","tag-blitar","tag-bupati","tag-dari","tag-dinas","tag-kolonial","tag-masa","tag-rumah","tag-warisan","tag-wisata"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5187"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5187\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5189,"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5187\/revisions\/5189"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
