Visiting Maimoon Palace is a must-do activity for anyone exploring Medan. This iconic royal residence, built in 1888 by Sultan Ma’mun Al Rasyid Perkasa Alamsyah of the Deli Sultanate, showcases a stunning blend of Malay, Middle Eastern, and European architectural styles.
Its striking yellow sterling façade—symbolizing Malay royalty—immediately captures attention, while the opulent interiors feature elegant chandeliers, ornate furnishings, and royal regalia that echo the palace’s grand past. Once a functioning royal residence, Maimoon Palace now serves as a museum, offering visitors a glimpse into the history, culture, and legacy of the Deli Sultanate.
With its regal charm and deep historical significance, the palace stands as one of North Sumatra’s most treasured cultural landmarks. A visit here not only reveals Medan’s rich heritage but also provides a unique journey through Indonesia’s royal history.
