Keraton Kacirebonan
The youngest palace, founded in 1808, with European-style colonnades. It houses royal weapons, musical instruments, and traditional costumes.
Keraton Kacirebonan was established in 1808 by descendants of Prince Kararuan, a member of the Kanoman royal family who was exiled after resisting Dutch colonial rule. Its architecture is clearly influenced by European colonial styles, combining white walls, columns, and arched windows with Javanese roofs. The small palace museum displays antique weapons, gamelan instruments, wayang kulit puppets, and royal costumes. Sometimes you can watch court dance rehearsals. The palace is small and uncrowded, which suits visitors interested in Cirebon’s royal history. It is about a 10-minute walk from Keraton Kanoman and can be included in a “palace tour.”
