Gedung Negara Grahadi

Gedung Negara Grahadi is a prominent historical building in Surabaya, built in 1795 during the Dutch colonial era by Dirk van Hogendorp. Originally designed as a riverside garden house facing the Kalimas River, it was later reoriented and renovated in 1810 under Governor-General Daendels into a Dutch colonial villa with classical architectural elements, including Greek-style columns and wide terraces. Spanning over 16,000 square meters, the two-story building is constructed with red brick walls, teakwood beams, and large windows to suit the tropical climate. It has served various roles throughout history—from a governor’s residence to a Japanese headquarters, a colonial court, and a site of diplomatic negotiations during Indonesia’s independence struggle. Today, Grahadi functions as the official residence of the Governor of East Java and a venue for state ceremonies. Open to public tours, it stands as a living monument to Surabaya’s colonial past and national history.
