Accessed June 20, 2012.〕 ==History== The building today known as Istana Negara (State Palace) was originally built as the residence for a Dutch businessman, J. A. van Braam in Rijswijk-Molenvliet (presently known as ''Harmoni''). The location chosen as at the time it was the most exclusive neighborhood in Weltevreden area, a new town center south of Old Batavia. The State Palace was built in 1796 facing north toward Molenvliet Canal in Noordwijk (today: Jalan Veteran), during the era of Pieter Gerardus van Overstraten as Governor General, and was completed in 1804.〔(ISTANA-ISTANA KEPRESIDENAN REPUBLIK INDONESIA ), setneg.go.id〕 In 1820, the mansion was rented and then sold to the Dutch Colonial Government in 1821. The government used this building as the center of all administration and as the official residence of the Governor-General during a stay in Batavia. Important occasions such as formal ceremonies or the Indies Council Meeting on every Wednesday are held in the palace. Godert van der Capellen became the first governor-general to officially reside in the palace. However Bogor Palace (Paleis te Buitenzorg) in Bogor (Buitenzorg) became the main residence, as most of the governor generals preferred the temperate climate in the hillsides of Bogor. Governor General Daendels originally intended to have the government centralized in Lapangan Banteng (formerly known as Waterloo Square) and had a palace built there. However the plan wasn't carried out by his preceder and the construction was delayed. Instead the mansion of van Braam in Rijswijk became the residence of the governor-general, while Daendels Palace was later completed in 1828 to become the department of finance building.〔(Palace of Daendels ), jakarta.go.id〕 Hotel van den Gouverneur-Generaal (Hotel of the Governor-General) became the official name of the van Braam mansion. Later the palace becomes too cramped with increasing administrative need, and thus a new palace was planned in 1869. The new palace was completed in 1873 facing Koningsplein (King's Square) and it would be known as Koningsplein Palace. Together the palace would form the Governor-General's palace compound in Rijswijk. In 1942 the Japanese successfully invaded the Dutch East Indies. Governor-General Tjarda Van Starkenborch signed a capitulation to the Japanese army in the palace on 8 March 1942. Under the Japanese the palace became the residence of the ''Saiko Shikikan'' (army commander) until the Japanese surrender in 1945. After the independence, the lion emblem of the Netherlands on the front facade of the building was removed. Since its existence, many important events took place in this building. Some of which include the declaration of the ''cultuur stelsel'' system by the Governor-General Graaf van den Bosch, the ratification ceremony of the Linggadjati Agreement on March 25, 1947 and the recognition of Indonesia's independence in 27 December 1949. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Istana Negara (Jakarta)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
