Gedung Negara Grahadi
A Dutch governor's residence built in 1795, a white neoclassical building that now serves as the official residence of the East Java governor and a venue for state receptions.
Grahadi was built in 1795 as the residence of the Dutch governor of East Java. It was later remodeled several times into the white neoclassical palace seen today, and its front lawn connects to Taman Apsari park. It now serves as the official reception venue of the East Java governor. Visitors can usually only view and photograph it from outside, though it occasionally opens for visits by appointment. It is not far from the Submarine Monument and Hotel Majapahit, so the three can be visited on foot in sequence.
