Detail InformationEdit

Gereja Sion (Indonesian for “Zion Church”) is a historic church located in Pinangsia Administrative District, Taman Sari, Jakarta, Indonesia. Dating from 1695, it is the oldest church still standing in Jakarta.
Zion Church measures 24 by 32 meters and is situated on 6,725 square meters of land. An extension was built on the back facade, measuring 6 by 18 meters. It was built above a foundation of 10,000 logs. The construction is designed by E. Ewout Verhagen from Rotterdam. The wall is constructed from bricks glued by a mix of sand and heatproof sugar.
Zion Church is characteristically Portuguese with its plain facade, ward-like appearance and domed windows. The church contains copper chandeliers, a baroque-style ebony pulpit, and the original organ. The furnishings were made by craftsmen from Formosa (Taiwan). The pipe organ was donated by the daughter of Reverend John Maurits Moor.
2,381 people were buried in the graveyard during 1790 alone, however, few tombs remain.[7] The ornate bronze tombstone of Governor General Hendrick Zwaardecroon who died in 1728 was buried, as was his wish, among “ordinary” people.
