The name Lawang Sewu itself comes from Semarang residents, slang friends. Lawang means the name ‘door’ and Sewu means ‘thousand’. A toponym for this building since decades later because it has a door with a lot of slang.
The Lawang Sewu Semarang building is divided into 3 buildings, equipped with a ballroom, a spacious dining room, a multipurpose building and a performance building in the form of an upside-down ark on the top floor. Building A is the main building and was previously used as the administrative office of the NIS slang.

The second building is building B, which was built in 1916 and ended in 1918. This building is also undergoing renovation and revitalization. But it has been opened to the public so that local and foreign tourists can take a walk near the room while looking at the natural panorama of the craftsmen who are working.

The third building is a slang building. This building has a very small dimension compared to the two buildings and is used as a museum and exhibition space for Lawang sewu images.
Ground Room of Lawang Sewu
Enggar Murdiasih
Lawang Sewu also has a ground floor, slang. The hallway is black, stuffy and cold. It was originally used as a water storage area by the Dutch government before it shifted to a prison where prisoners were tortured by Japanese soldiers.
The prison was divided into 2 parts. Originally a squat prison, this prison has dimensions of 1.5 x 1.5 m with a size of about 60 centimeters, as many as 5 to 9 prisoners are put in a box of slang. Because the dimensions of the box that accommodates the limited position of the prisoners can only squat, then the box is filled with water, closed with iron bars until they die from losing their breath. Scary The second prison is a standing prison, slang.

Agung Kurniawan
This prison has dimensions of 60 centimeters x 1 m, 5 to 6 prisoners are put in this prison and then closed with iron doors until they die. If within a week, the prisoners in these two prisons have not died, so that their heads will be beheaded in a special room.
Mystical Aura of Lawang Sewu Semarang
Lawang Sewu Semarang City
The fun of visiting Lawang Sewu is from a mystical sensation that seems to stick out when walking down the halls in every room. We seem to be able to feel the “coming” of the restless souls who died due to torture by the Japanese soldiers at that time (or because I was paranoid myself).
There are many community stories about mystical stories that are intertwined in Lawang sewu, friends, slang. For example, when visiting accompanied by astral beings, being photographed with astral beings, what’s even more terrible is that there are people who are reported to have died after exploring one of the guts test programs on one of the national private television stations.
