" An ancient palace with a simple but meaningful carving. This is a well-preserved historical legacy. Even though this palace once burned out but it was rebuilt as it was.
Like most royal palaces on the island of Sumatra, Pagaruyung palace is also made of wood with good quality . This palace has the shape like house on stilts with stairs, but not quite high.
The characteristic of the Pagaruyung Palace is its unique architecture with a roof that resembles buffalo horn which is made of fibers.
This palace has three floors and the interior is decorated with colorful Malay trinkets and ornaments .
On the first floor various relics of royal heritage items such as kris (ceremonial knife), musical instruments such as small gongs, pots made of copper, clothing, slippers, sticks, containers for incense, cigarette pipe, copper bowls are displayed. Not to mention mannequins dressed in traditional Minang outfits.
On the second floor there is a large empty space and right at the corner there is a bed of the King covered with a mosquito net.
On the third floor there are three chairs and one round table and there is also an old wooden wardrobe nearby . The room is so artistic with an old fashioned lamp hanging on its ceiling. The walls are decorated with carvings of yellow, green, brown, black colors with classical nuances. From this third floor visitors can see the incredible scenery in the surrounding. Photographers would love this spot. Spacious gardens on the left, right, front and back of the palace present stunning views. "
