Tjong A Fie Mansion

The mansion reminds me with the one that i visited in Penang, Malaysia. You need to buy ticket for 35K rupiahs by cash only. The mansion is clean and well maintained. I recommend you to visit this site as you could also learn the contribution of Tjong A Fie.

Apparently this man Tjong a fie is related with cheong fatt sze in Penang (blue mansion). However think the one in Penang is slightly better maintained. They preserved a lot of the old furniture / rooms / equipment available for viewing and there was a guide that introduced the place. The nice thing is that the living relatives are apparently still living in this area.

Well conserved house, also featuring information about the role of chinese indonesians living 100 years ago and mister Tjongs role in that community. Worthy of a visit, entry is 35k.

Tjong A Fie Mansion is one of the most beautiful and culturally rich places I visited in Medan. This historical house, once the home of a Chinese businessman and philanthropist, is now a well-preserved museum that offers a glimpse into Medan’s past and its multicultural heritage. The architecture is stunning, with a unique blend of Chinese, Malay, and European influences. Every room is decorated with antique furniture, intricate wood carvings, and family photos that give life to the mansion’s history. Walking through the house feels like stepping back in time. I really enjoyed exploring the courtyard and admiring the details in the structure. It’s also a great spot for photography—there’s natural light filtering through the windows, colorful tiles, and so many elegant corners to capture. The staff are friendly and happy to share more about the history of the house and the legacy of Tjong A Fie, who played a significant role in the development of Medan. If you’re visiting Medan and want to see more than just nature and food, I highly recommend adding Tjong A Fie Mansion to your list. It’s peaceful, educational, and full of character.

Very interesting history. Even though the house is very old, we can still see how grand it still is. The owner are really proud of this house. The two floors consist of 30 rooms. Beautiful dancing hall. Great kitchen with fire made out of wood so we know the food should taste great. The house was well designed with garden in the centre of the house and also at the entrance as well. Parking to this place is a bit of a problem as there are not many carpark space.

Well worth visiting. Your tour guide is extra charge but well worth it. If you are Chinese heritage this is a must see
