Javanese houses in the 19th century were for the wealthy and aristocratic class. The “DALEM”, the front room, which would have originally been the central part of the original compound was reserved for formal meetings with important visitors and the spiritual heart of the home is the large upper room.
The front door, (as it did on the island of Java) faces south,
the symbolic direction of the sea.

The richness of the carving and the shape of the main roof
(called a JOGLO), indicate that this house was built
for a very important person.
Many visitors have discovered hidden writings and blessings among the carvings and we continue ourselves to research the history and meanings behind them.
* Note: The Java House is not Wheel Chair Accessible at this time and food and beverage service is only available on weekends or with a pre-arranged group booking.
