Keraton Sambaliung
A wooden sultan's palace on the Kelay River, belonging to the Sambaliung branch of the Berau sultanate. Together with the Gunung Tabur palace across the river, it tells the history of the Berau kingdom.
Keraton Sambaliung lies on the bank of the Kelay River, across from Tanjung Redeb. It was the palace of the Sambaliung branch after the Berau sultanate split. The wooden buildings are painted yellow-green and keep the style of traditional Malay palaces. Inside are photos of the royal family, objects and ceremonial items, and some spaces are still used by royal descendants. Visits usually require contacting the caretaker, and donations are optional. From Tanjung Redeb, it is about 10 minutes by car across the bridge. It can be combined with the Batiwakkal Museum for a half-day tour.
