Gedung Sate, a striking public edifice in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, stands as a remarkable fusion of neoclassical architecture with indigenous Indonesian elements, crafted by Dutch architect J. Gerber in 1924. Originally intended as the seat of the Dutch East Indies Department of State Owned Enterprises, it now serves as the official residence of the governor of West Java and houses a museum. Affectionately dubbed "satay building" for its central pinnacle's resemblance to skewered satay, Gedung Sate is an iconic landmark adorned with six spheres symbolizing the six million guilders invested in its construction. With its rich history and distinctive design, Gedung Sate remains a cherished symbol of cultural harmony and architectural excellence in Indonesia.
